CityWalk project partner Development Centre of the Heart of Slovenia in cooperation with Municipality of Kamnik, CIPRA Slovenia and Štajn arhitekti organized Jane's Walk in Kamnik on May 12, 2018. The event was attended by more than 20 citizens.

The route of urban walks was themed “The routes of Local Industrial Heritage” an was purposefully chosen, since the urban walks the organisers wanted to emphasize the importance of cultural heritage that is being overlooked and destroyed piece by piece. Walkers stopped at 4 important points where important, but nowadays closed, factories used to be located and discussed the issues, problems with the legislation and shared ideas on what it can be done.

Here are some highlights from urban walk 2018 in Kamnik:

Jane’s Walk is an annual festival of free, citizen-led walking conversations inspired by Jane Jacobs. Jane’s Walks encourage people to share stories about their neighbourhoods, discover unseen aspects of their communities, and use walking as a way to connect with their neighbours. Leaders share their knowledge, but also encourage discussion and participation among the walkers.
