Diplomsko delo govori o Los Angelesu kot postmodernem mestu. Najprej smo analizirali ključna teoretična izhodišča, pristope in pojme, ki so povezani s postmodernim mestom. Nato smo analizirali mesto Los Angeles glede na demografsko in gospodarsko strukturo ter si pogledali, kakšno je mesto vizualno in kaj je zanj značilno. V zadnjem delu smo opisali urbano omrežje Slovenije in njeno demografsko ter gospodarsko strukturo ter v zaključku naredili primerjavo med obema. This paper discusses Los Angeles as a postmodern city. First, we analysed the main theoretical basis, approaches and definitions that are connected to a postmodern city. Then we analysed the city of Los Angeles from the demographical and economical point of view. We described what the city looked like and what its specifics were. In the last part of this paper, we described the urban network of Slovenia and its demographical and economical structure and in the end, we made a comparison of the two.

Avtor v uvodu analizira izobrazbeno sestavo prebivalstva v večjih slovenskih mestih in jo primerja s sestavo v mestu Maribor, ki je drugo največje univerzitetno mesto v Sloveniji. Ugotavlja, da sodi Maribor med mesta z najvišjim deležem prebivalstva z doseženo terciarno izobrazbo v Sloveniji, vendar pa je v mestu še vedno z nadpovprečnim deležem zastopano prebivalstva s srednješolsko izobrazbo, kar je posledica intenzivnega razvoja industrijske dejavnosti v preteklih desetletjih. V nadaljevanju analizira razmere v posameznih delih mesta in ugotovi pomembne razlike med posameznimi deli mesta. Območje na levem bregu Drave izkazuje višji delež prebivalstva s terciarno izobrazbo, medtem ko območja na desnem bregu, zlasti na območjih starejše pozidave iz 50., 60. in 70. let 20. stoletja ter ob starejših industrijskih conah, izkazujejo višji delež prebivalstva z osnovnošolsko izobrazbo. In the introduction, the author analyzes the educational structure of the population (by educational attainment level) in the larger Slovene towns, and compares it with the structure in Maribor, which is the second largest university town in Slovenia. He finds that Maribor is among the cities with the highest percentage of population with a tertiary education in Slovenia, but the population with a secondary education is still above the average, which is a result of the intensive development of industrial activity in the past decades. Continuing, he analyzes the situation in individual parts of the city of Maribor, and finds important differences between the individual parts of the city. The area on the left bank of the Drava River shows a higher proportion of population with tertiary education, while the areas on the right bank, especially the areas with older buildings constructed in the fifties, sixties, and seventies, and the areas around the older industrial zones show a higher proportion of population with primary education.

Avtor v uvodu analizira starostno sestavo prebivalstva v večjih slovenskih mestih in jo primerja s sestavo v mestu Maribor. Ugotavlja, da Maribor izkazuje najvišji delež starejšega prebivalstva in najvišji indeks staranja. V nadaljevanju analizira demografske razmere v 38 krajevnih skupnostih v mestu v obdobju med letoma 1981 in 2015. Ugotavlja, da se proces staranja razlikuje po posameznih delih mesta. V začetnem obdobju so bile najbolj neugodne razmere v starejšem delu mesta na levem bregu reke Drave, v zadnjem desetletju pa je staranje prebivalstva bolj izrazito v starejših t. im. delavskih stanovanjskih soseskah na desnem bregu, kamor se je mesto širilo v 60., 70. in 80. letih 20. stoletja in se je v njih vselila starostno dokaj homogena populacija. Na drugi strani se znotraj mesta kažejo ugodne demografske razmere v tistih območjih, v katerih je prišlo do sanacije in revitalizacije. In the introduction, the author analyzed the age composition of the population in larger Slovene towns and compares it with the composition in the city of Maribor. He noted that Maribor has the highest share of the older population, and the highest aging index. Further is analyzed the demographic situation in 38 local communities in the city between 1981 and 2015. It’s noted that the aging process varies in different parts of the city. In the initial period, the most unfavorable conditions were in the older part of the city on the left bank of the Drava River. During the demographic changes in the last decade, the aging of the population was more intensive in older so-called workers’ residential neighborhoods in the southern part of the town (on the right bank), where the city expanded in the 60s, 70s and 80s of the 20th century. In them a relatively age-homogeneous population was moved in at the time. On the other hand, the current situation within the older part of the city also shows favorable demographic conditions in those areas where reconstructions and revitalization occurred.
