Abstract
The paper presents a tool of the self-government economy, which is the participatory budget. First of all, the procedure for aggregation of preferences and selection of tasks for implementation was analyzed. Particular attention has been paid to the various methods of public consultation. The Wroclaw Civic Budget, which has been in operation since 2013, has been used as a research facility. The aim of this article is to evaluate the implementation and functioning of the civic budgets, with particular attention to the process of public consultation. The following hypothesis was formulated in the study: Participatory budgeting is not a tool for optimizing public expenditure, but rather an instrument that streamlines the process of aggregation of preferences. The paper presents the concepts related to participatory budgeting, the Wroclaw Civic Budget, as well as the principles and scope of consultations carried out in Wroclaw in the years 2013-2016. The final part of the article is an assessment of the effectiveness of the participatory budget.

Summary
The paper presents a tool of the self-government economy, which is the participatory budget. The aim of this article is to evaluate the implementation and functioning of the civic budgets, with particular attention to the process of public consultation. The following hypothesis was formulated in the study: Participatory budgeting is not a tool for optimizing public expenditure, but rather an instrument that streamlines the process of aggregation of preferences. Określenie to odnieść można bowiem do wszystkich budżetów jednostek publicznych. Po kilku latach wdrażania budżetu partycypacyjnego we Wrocławiu, pojawiło się wiele spostrzeżeń i wniosków, dotyczących zarówno procesu jego implementacji, jak i wyboru projektów do realizacji. Dlatego też podstawowym celem artykułu jest ocena wdrażania i funkcjonowania budżetów obywatelskich, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem procesu konsultacji społecznych, na przykładzie Wrocławskiego Budżetu Obywatelskiego. Główną hipotezą artykułu jest przypuszczenie, że budżet partycypacyjny nie jest narzędziem optymalizacji wydatków publicznych, lecz stanowi instrument usprawniający proces agregacji preferencji. Nych związanych z wdrażaniem i przygotowaniem do wdrażania budżetu partycypacyjnego
