4. Towns in Slovakia after 1993

The situation of the towns in Slovakia, which became independent again in 1993, is influenced by several factors at the same time. Of the many factors, those of administration, transportation and the geopolitical situation of the country have to be emphasized from the point of view of spatial formation. Besides, mention must be made of independence by selfgovernance, the individual, ambitions of the towns and the geographical, historical and social conditions that have an effect on the development of the particular towns.
