| − | [[Municipality of Nova Gorica]] is one of the largest in Slovenia, with a total area of 309 square kilometres and a population of 35,151 people (2002) living in 47 settlements. It is one of eleven Slovene urban municipalities and is located close to the Italian border, between the Alps and the sea. According to the 6th Paris Peace Conference the town of Gorica/Gorizia belonged to Italy, and thus a substantial part of the Goriška area, the Soča Valley and the Lower Vipava Valley lost its centre. Nova Gorica is a new town which was built next to Italian Gorizia in 1948. The urban plan for the new town was elaborated by the architect and town planner Edo Ravnikar. Youth work brigades from all over Yugoslavia started to build the new town. | + | [[Municipality of Nova Gorica]] is one of the largest in Slovenia, with a total area of 309 square kilometres and a population of 35,151 people (2002) living in 47 settlements.
