Eco city villages in Slovenia

We had a mild winter here in Slovenia , so now begins an early spring . This is a country known for its rich foliage through a long period in the year , in spring , summer and late autumn . Early spring luring me on daily walks, and walks led me to thinking.
I live in the city in Slovenia, which is a small country , and consequently, its cities can not be compared to New York or Mexico City. City structure in cities in Slovenia are recognized only in the downtown core that has historical character since the Austro-Hungarian rule in this region . So recognizable medieval and classical urban pattern. And that is the heart of the historical and cultural tourism experience .

Only the small fraction of the cities in Slovenia expanded their borders in modern times of socialist realism . And it is primarily groups of neighborhoods with predominantly prefabricated housing construction . The people of this region want to live in touch with nature . And even these day , every inch of land is converted to arable land . Even in cities .


The road through democracy , living in the European Union,  its population wants to turn cities into urban centers , concentrated with business , administration , traffic ... At the same time , hurrying towards urban appearance characteristic of major European centers such as Paris , London , Berlin .. . accelerated and deeper Slovenia enters the economic crisis , but also a moral crisis , and thus environmental crisis . Because of that, I can not stop wondering myself why people, who so much love their land, do not continue to consider creating an urban village with environmental matrix elements?

The idea of ​​creating an urban eco village is not new , nor mine, but very interesting and actual. Slovenian cities and urban areas with specific individual houses are prerequisites to develop in that direction . And if the government would not punish this act , the cities would look as beautiful small towns where there are citizens who are friends of nature. The economic crisis thus would be less for people who live in the city , the government would retain the pride of green state , and democracy and sustainability would go hand in hand as the only example in the European Union.
