The
Regional Authority FrankfurtRheinMain is the cooperation body of the administratively fragmented
Frankfurt am Main urban area and the common authority for Frankfurt am Main and its 74 neighbouring
communities. It manages and coordinates the regional development of
Frankfurt am Main and its
suburbs. It also represents the Frankfurt urban area nationally and internationally and is responsible for the strategic alignment of the local decision-making, for the development of a common regional image and an improved regional harmonisation. The authority draws up and updates the regional preparatory land use plans, local development and zoning plans, and carries out an intensive regional monitoring to coordinate the development of the urban region.
