The text explores how New Urbanism ideas, a comprehensive global design doctrine, transgress into the context of Polish planning practice. New Urbanism is considered through the perspective of the decentralization of a discussion on a planning policy and a modernization of a State, resulting form its post-Socialist urban change. In the text, New Urbanism is understood as a neotraditionalist movement i.e. drawing from the pre-modernist ideas of the evolutionary growth of the city, "retelling" and merging multiple, historical European urban narratives. It is therefore theorized how a successful large scale application of the movement would depend on its local contextualization of such ideas and how the recent shift in a general debate on Polish urban policy could become an opportunity to implement such a process.
