Management of big cities is a relatively unresearched area, as
compared to city planning and city governance. A study of Warsaw
city management reveals the transformation process typically found
in European countries in political and economic transition. In A
City Reframed, Czarniawska conceptualises city management as an
"action-net" under transformation, where three types of action are
in focus: "muddling through," or coping with daily problems;
"reframing," or changing the frame of interpretation of the world
in order to take successful action; and "anchoring," the testing of
new ideas on potentially involved parties in order to secure
cooperation or minimize resistance. "Muddling through" is central
to management in Warsaw, as it no doubt has always been: it is this
"muddling through" that makes cities function. The specificity of
the Warsaw picture is its demand for "reframing" and numerous and
varied attempts have been made to achieve a "change of frame." They
were sometimes successful, sometimes not, the skill of anchoring
only slowly emerging from the most recent past, with the sediments
of the old regimes an obvious obstacle. The study pinpoints the
phenomena central to the construction of the action-net of city
management, and traces its further connections (or lack of such),
both temporally and spatially.
