Confronting Suburbanization in Ljubljana

Abstract

In Slovenia there is no official translation for the phrase urban sprawl. Yet such patterns of development, mostly associated with the construction of detached single-family dwellings by individual households, have characterized the suburban periphery of Slovenian towns for several decades prior to the transition of the country's economy to a market-based system in the early 1990s. As in many other countries of Eastern Europe after World War II, in Slovenia too the drive for industrialization became a development priority of the highest order. The corresponding policy spurred an intensive process of urbanization, which influenced the growth of larger towns as dominant locations of economic activities. The success of the political, economic, and institutional reforms in Slovenia following the collapse of the socialist regime has impacted strongly the transformation of Ljubljana's urban region.
