Abstract: Abstract This study aims to shed more light on the variance among the allocation mechanisms within the participatory budgeting (PB) in Polish cities with district rights. To collect data, documentary research of the official documents (mayors and councils resolutions as well as PB regulations) was applied for 64 cities, where the tasks financed through PB are carried out in 2017. The results show a great variation in PB allocation mechanisms and allows to distinguish the following projects’ divisions: (a) investment and societal projects, (b) small and large projects, (c) citywide and “local” projects. Of the analyzed cities, the largest percentage of cities (48.5%) introduced the division of projects into citywide and “local” projects.
