 Zagreb Hotels
I think the Italian name of Zagreb is not of much relevance, since Italian is not spoken there, nor has the Italian name ever been the official name of the city.
Named after the city of Zagreb, this county is very historic: its center, the city of Samobor has existed since 1242, and was one of the first tourist resorts in the region.
The Zagreb county borders on the Krapina-Zagorje county, the city of Zagreb and Varaždin county in the north, Bjelovar-Bilogora county in the east, Sisak-Moslavina county in the south and Karlovac county in the southwest.

In certain places, cities are separated by legislation which stipulates that the labor force live in a city different from the city of their labor.
These cities are crowded beyond description, with vast numbers of people moving into the cities from the hinterland at an average rate of 7% per year and with biological growth averaging 2.4% annually.
Our goal in each world-class city is to plant a growing cluster of churches in each social unit of the city, and the revitalization of existing city churches to the point where they become active participants in the process of the evangelization of their city.

 PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Autumn 1995
Naming operations seems to have originated with the German General Staff during the last two years of World War I. The Germans used code names primarily to preserve operational security, though the names were also a convenient way of referring to subordinate and successive operations.
The Germans made extensive use of code names for plans and operations and usually chose names at random; however, major operations often got special consideration by the German leadership.[34] Perhaps the most well-known example of this is the code name for the 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union.
Naming the operation Just Cause was risky, however, not only because it was an obvious public relations ploy, but also because it apparently sought to preempt judgment about whether, in fact, the invasion really was moral, legal, and righteous.

 Architecture in China
The list of architects at work in Shanghai reads like an honor roll for the industry: from iconoclastic individuals like Sir Norman Foster and Michael Graves, designer of Disney hotels, to mega-American firms like KPF and Skidmore Owens and Merrill, designer of Chicago's Sears Tower and John Hancock Building, as well as Shanghai's Jin Mao.
Bigger yet is his master plan for a city of 300,000 people to serve Shanghai's new dockyard, connecting a couple offshore islands.
The German city is but the centerpiece of a master plan with an entire European Union of suburbs: Italian town, British town, even Dutch town with canals and good cheese.

The list seems to be weak on deliberate political renamings as opposed to phonetic/spelling variants, except in the Baltic area where they get Trondheim, Oslo, and Sankt Peterburg (which is still called Petrograd in "Russian Turkestan" accoridng to a recent report.)
