• In the article, a reconstruction of the crisis of democracy discourse and the reactions to this narration is laid out. Based on this reconstruction, the idea of urban protest is discussed. The dual face of the urban citizenry and ambivalent reactions of cities to the phenomenon of decapillarisation of power are discerned. Several case studies of urban populism (from the cities in Poland, Canada, Italy, Netherlands, Germany) and reaction to it are presented and analyzed in order to demonstrate the complexity and diversity of the problem. The author stipulates that the response of cities to populism and the crisis of democracy may strengthen or weaken authoritarian tendencies both at the level of institutional activities (related to the creation and implementation of local policies) and at the non-institutional level (related to the sphere of activism).
