Urban lifestyle is linked to a city's economic development, which, in turn, has affected the speed of social change, exacerbating personal issues. Identity conflicts are just one of the many examples of the influence urban environment has on its dwellers. Risk is gradually becoming an integral part of all aspects of life in the contemporary world. Political and socio-economic changes require great adaptive skills. Extreme situations occur everywhere. Natural disasters and technological accidents, armed conflicts and terrorism, abrupt shifts in the nature and forms of social relations and ethnic conflicts, family issues and identity crises, all these events are seen as stress triggers that contribute to an increase in the number of those needing an effective counseling and social protection. That is where City Monastery arises; a place of peace for people tired of the hustle and bustle and constant pressure, for those feeling lost or useless, or those who struggle to find their place. The project´s mission is to restore the value of an individual on the administrative, physical and psychological levels. The way a person perceives the others, his/her attitude towards the environment and every living creature are determined by interpersonal relationships. This is a vast, diverse part of human nature and, more importantly, of our self-perception. All the resulting problems have a cause, which is simple yet complex at the same time. Overcoming main cultural problems and social challenges of a city is not possible without understanding this.
