Abstract:

In this article, the author researches the hypothesis that the urban system in Slovenia has not followed the planning goals over the previous 20 years. Large cities have grown in the form of suburbanisation, while smaller cities have stagnated and have not reached the level of regional centres. The author proposes a new scientific examination of urban systems as a part of Strategic Spatial Plan of the Republic of Slovenia. His thesis is that seven regional urban centres in Slovenia should be developed (including the cities of Ljubljana, Maribor and Koper) as the core of polycentric urbanisation. Other cities should develop according their potentials following free market conditions.
