Maribor Urban Municipality covers a total area of 147 square metres and has a population of 108,944 people (2002) living in 33 settlements. It is one of 11 Slovene Urban Municipalities located at the junction of five natural geographical regions and of road and railway routes from Vienna to Trieste, Zagreb and Budapest. Prior to 1991 Slovenia’s second largest city was the industrial centre of Slovenia, but after independence its huge state factories faced economic ruin. In recent years a steady growth of small economic enterprises has been underway.
