When Croatia achieved independence in 1991, Zagreb was declared its capital and along with it came the political and administrative responsibilities. Today, the city has maintained its medieval structure in the Gradec and Kaptol area which are prime administrative regions of the city. The residential area has been located on the southern slopes of the Medvednica Mountains. From the 1950’s, when the city started developing technologically, it was on the south and south east of the Sava River, that the industries started concentrating their base.
