DESCRIPTION:Neoliberalism has recently become a topic of vivid interest wi
 thin planning theory. The theory of accounts of neoliberalization of urban
  policymaking and planning highlights the temporal and spatial variegation
  of neoliberalism focusing upon the evolutionary processes of a plurality 
 of Western capitalisms. Eastern Europe has recently become a subject of in
 -depth comparative studies into the diversity of capitalism (Jasiecki 2013
 ). This paper presents how the concept of neoliberalism shaped trajectorie
 s of urban planning and development in Poland. Several factors that define
  the ‘new’ capitalism in Poland will be used in an analysis of plannin
 g and urban development. Among them special attention will be paid to path
 s of leaving the idea of communism and manifestations of its heritage\, th
 e state as a regulator of institutional changes\, a deficit of capital (in
 vestment capital\, social capital\, etc.)\, the main actors creating the n
 ew system\, the influence of internationalization of the economy on change
 s of the system (including the role of foreign investors and the membershi
 p in the EU). The influence of the doctrine of the ‘property rights’ s
 chool will also be discussed. The subject will be analysed in context of a
  balance between public and private rights to land\, their relation to val
 ue capture and compensation\, the right to develop and restitution of prop
 erty rights.\n\n\nBiography\n\n\nBarbara Havel is an Assistant Professor a
