Historically important towns where business, particularly in forestry, mining and quarrying, has only prospered. Today, these are almost forgotten jewels of the countries. Time has gradually left its mark on these towns and the interest of investors has faded from these two important border towns. As time passed and everything changed, these cities failed to react in due season and adapt to these dynamic conditions. The reason for choosing these cities is also their similarity. Apart from the fact that both are border towns of two different states with a shared fate, they are also similar in other aspects. They have an identical total surface area. The aim of this article is to explore the similarities and differences of these cities in the field of entrepreneurship. There will be a focus on the industries in these cities.
