Abstract In the text, I discuss the subject of creating social communities in city districts on two examples: Warsaw’s Ursus and Gdańsk’s Młode Miasto. The activities conducted by the artists in those districts were aimed at creating/recreating the identity of the place by the citizens. Simultaneously, the renewal of the social and neighbourly ties was meant to improve the quality of life in the local community, and to contribute to changing the citizens’ way of thinking and co-deciding about their place of living
