Biogram

Born in Lodz. Associate Professor at the University of Lodz, who explores local government policy effectiveness, urban laboratories, heritage valuation, and the territorial capital analysed through the institutional economics lenses. Perceives local government as a common good. He believes decentralising powers and rapprochement with citizens are among the best things to happen to societies, empowering their entrepreneurial potential. Professor Sokolowicz was also responsible for urban revitalisation as a local government official and often advises local and national public agencies in this realm, rendering more resilient regions and cities. In his free time, he reads a lot and writes a little. His passions are motorcycle travel, amateur theatre and tricky crossword puzzles.
