The difficulties in effective city management in Warsaw did not stem from its communist past but from a veneered sedimentation of a rationalist-legalist frame of action. This chapter discusses possibilities for reframing created by automorphism; that is, imitation of a city's invented tradition, present in all three cities.

Keywords:   automorphism, tradition, social memory
