The article discusses the concepts and principles of the functioning of the Cittaslow small town network. Particular attention was devoted to its functioning in Poland. The concept of slow cities was formulated with the promotion of the assets of small cities and towns (urban centres with a population count of up to 50 000) in mind and is meant to use their unique local potential. The slow living lifestyle has found proponents in over 200 cities and towns all around the world, leading to the formation of national networks of slow cities across all of the world's continents. One of the foundations of the Cittaslow movement was the drive to resist the globalisation and unification of the images of cities, leading to, among other things, the gradual loss of their identity. By promoting their own unique features and assets (cuisine, architecture, customs and traditions), cities and towns can create their own individual image, while simultaneously the statutory provisions of the network force member towns to constantly improve the quality of life of their residents in a sustainable manner, making them better places to live. While these benefits may not be clearly visible in the short term in most cases, they can lay the groundwork for the slow and steady improvement of living conditions and the economic situations in member towns.
