The period after the Second World War interfered with the administrative organisation of municipalities with the socialist political and economic framework. The introduction of the workers’ self-government system also influenced the organisation of state and local government. Ljubljana has received seven administrative divisions in four decades. The introduction of the communal system in June 1955 blurred the borders between the city and the countryside, so Ljubljana was initially divided into nine municipalities, and since 1964 it had been divided into five municipalities (Center, Bežigrad, Šiška, Moste - Polje, Vič - Rudnik) until the introduction of a new system of local self-government in independent Slovenia in 1995. The City Council (1964 City Council of Ljubljana, 1969 City Assembly of Ljubljana) was established in 1955 to resolve common local issues at the city level, and the Council of the Ljubljana Region was established at the inter-municipal level. In the forty-year period, the communal system had proven itself to be administratively deficient, as it performed tasks within the competence of state authorities more than it dealt with the needs of the local population.
