City atmosphere City atmosphere consist of two strong spatial and at the same time historical elements. First one is old medieval city centre and second one a post WW2 industrial and socialist area of city extension with factories, apartment blocks and suburban housing areas. Due to this two distinctive spatial entities, city of Kamnik is always trying to crate its identity between “old” and “new”. These two entities are recognized as a strong holding point of identity and atmosphere by the citizens. We should also mention that there are another two parts of a city, which add quite a big value and impact on atmosphere. Green surrounding forests with a nice alpine scenography at the back and lately, few shopping centres (areas), which are unfortunately becoming more and more powerful in attracting inhabitants and not adding much to a city life, micro - economy or cultural improvement. In general, city atmosphere is calm, safe and filled with quite a lot of sports and cultural initiatives by the locals. Especially when we compare the city with the same size cities in Slovenia (Kranj, Škofja Loka or Radovljica if we mention the ones in a proximity of 50 km radius), we find out, that city is still keeping its identity and to a certain level, its city life. Time horizon is also notable in city atmosphere; there are much less events in winter than in summer. There is no notable nightlife as we know it from bigger cities, though, there are quite some cultural and sports events during the most of the time of a year. 1.1.2. Attitudes of citizens Citizens of Kamnik are very attached to the nature in everyday life - mountain hiking and cycling are just two of the most notable activities that are publically appreciated and popular. They like to visit cultural events and are also often engaged in cultural activities such as membership in chorus, bands, orchestras, theatre plays, visiting the exhibitions, concerts, etc. Very important in understanding the attitudes of citizens of Kamnik is also the fact, that a huge amount of people is migrating every day to Ljubljana for work. Estimated 3.000 – 5.000 Individuals daily (Source: data from SURS 2010), which means, they spend most of their best time of the day in other city than Kamnik. In general, public opinion about Kamnik is, that it is a nice city to live in but not a good city to do work here. This image or idea is much more important as someone might think, since because of that, Kamnik is a known destination for family living and much less for young, talented, and creative individuals. 1.1.3. Citizens Citizens of Kamnik are 94% of Slovenian nationality and 6% of foreign (source: SISTAT – for Kamnik Municipality), from which when we
