ABSTRACT
The aim of this article is to examine the multidimensional issue of urban
leadership and to identify the key theoretical approaches in the study of this fascinating
phenomenon. The importance of big cities in both the socioeconomic and political spheres
is growing rapidly.
The article discusses four leadership trends (political, systemic, community, and global),
highlighting their key assumptions and characteristics. The author’s original way of
organising deliberations on urban leadership constitutes an attempt to give structure to
multithreaded theoretical research in this field.
