Here is a comparison of some of the sub-alpine cities in the south eastern part of the Alps. I've compared the biggest cities in the region, such as Ljubljana, Graz, Maribor, Udine, Klagenfurt, Villach, Kranj and Celje. You can see that Graz is the biggest by size, but Ljubljana has a slightly bigger population. Ljubljana is also the most clustered of them all, while Klagenfurt and Udine are the most compact cities in the region. All of these cities have a very good chance to grow rapidly and become centers in the region. I think in the next years the biggest growth can be expected from Ljubljana and Graz, they may become important big cities in the whole region, maybe with a population close to 500.000 until 2050. I think Maribor and Klagenfurt may become a little bigger, too. Maybe hitting the 200.000 mark in 40 years, but as far as other cities go, I think they will remain the same size or grow close to 100.000. It all depends on the local and regional governments and future projects. We will see.
Graz/Gradec (Austria), 260.000 inhabitants, bigger map
Ljubljana (Slovenia), 280.000 inhabitants, bigger map
Maribor (Slovenia), 120.000 inhabitants, bigger map
Klagenfurt/Celovec (Austria), 94.000 inhabitants, bigger map
Udine/Videm (Italy), 100.000 inhabitants, bigger map
Villach/Beljak (Austria), 60.000 inhabitants, bigger map
Kranj (Slovenia), 52.000 inhabitants, bigger map
Celje (Slovenia), 48.000 inhabitants, bigger map
