Planning regions in Bavaria
The planning regions in Bavaria were created on April 1, 1973 when Bavaria was divided into a total of 18 spatial planning regions on the basis of the Bavarian State Planning Act of 1970.
The planning regions are regional planning areas in which, according to the Bavarian State Development Program (LEP), balanced living and economic relationships are to be maintained or developed. To this end, a regional plan is drawn up for each region .
A regional planning association was set up for each planning region , an association of the municipalities and districts of the region, which has the legal form of a corporation under public law . The regional planning associations are the carriers of regional planning in the assigned sphere of activity and concretize the goals of the state development program for the spatial area of responsibility.
Overall, after the division of Bavaria into regions in 1973, the following planning regions were created, which are assigned to three regional groups, depending on which of the area categories of the state development program has a defining role in the region:
