“On the right bank of the Danube in district V is Petržalka, which has about 115,000 inhabitants, one quarter of Bratislava’s entire population. Fifty years ago this region was famous for its fruit orchards, forests and rural character. In the 1970s it became the symbol of the city’s growth and today contains the largest prefabricated housing estate in Central Europe.” >text (c) wieninternational.at, 2012
