“…This way of justifying the Polish transformation was similar to what happened in America. And it impacted the works of Polish scholars, who helped create the specific negative public image of those who did not make it to the top, or even to the middle of the social ladder (for an analysis referring to Polish press discourse on these social problems, see: Woźniak 2013Woźniak , 2012Pluciński 2010;Sowa 2010;Rek 2007;Rokicka and Warzywoda-Kruszyńska 2006, Chmielewska and Żukowski 2006, Szumlewicz 2006Klebaniuk 2004;Podemski 2013).…”

This article aims to present the discursive processes that were used to justify the path chosen to implement the social and economic transformation to capitalism in Poland. Special attention is paid to the role of elites in shaping a public discourse which legitimized the significant pauperization in society and growth of income inequalities as being conditioned on individual defects and the "civilizational incompetence" of those at the bottom of the social structure. These citizens of Poland were presented as a constraint and obstacle to achieving a faster pace of modernization processes. This has influenced the thinking of politicians involved in policy-making at the national level, as well as the attitudes of those involved in the implementation of welfare measures at the local level. Furthermore, it has contributed to the unspoken consensus of all mainstream political parties over the neoliberal reforms in the economy and social policy.

“…Density has always been associated with access to services because of its influence on the aspect of the viability of a service or facility (Burton 2000;Burton 2003;Rokicka and Warzywoda-Kruszyńska 2006;Bramley, Dempsey et al 2009;Bramley and Power 2009;Jenks, Jones et al 2010). Most research hypothesized that density plays a significant role in determining access to the particular service or facilities.…”

Local services and facilities in residential neighbourhoods play an important role towards the social sustainability of local residents. It is believed that having good provision and access to these local services and facilities would contribute significantly to the quality of life and residents' well-being. The form of the neighbourhood influences the way people live in the neighbourhood. The way people settle in neighbourhood's shapes the quality of life, the richness of the local economy, the level of social cohesion, the level of safety and the amount and the kind of human activities in public spaces. Different urban forms can have very different degrees of sustainability. Density is one of the urban form elements that have been research numerous times and proven to have an influence on the neighbourhood sustainability. Density is the most easily measured urban form element either at a macro level (city) or micro level (neighbourhood). This research discusses the impact of density on the micro scale through estimating its influence on access to local facilities. Through the use of household survey and supported by observation survey, this study findings on the impact of density on access and use of local facilities. The study concludes with establishing the findings of the survey to reflect and fit into the body of knowledge and how it would improve the guidelines and policy on social sustainability in improving the urban living as a whole.
