The regional association FrankfurtRheinMain is the organizational level of the conurbation Frankfurt / Rhein-Main. Its purpose is to ensure the orderly development of Frankfurt am Main and its neighboring communities. Since the surrounding municipalities of Frankfurt remained independent municipalities even after the Hessian regional reform of 1977, the Hessian state government created a public corporation in 2011 with the regional association FrankfurtRheinMain , which is intended to strengthen municipal cooperation in the Frankfurt / Rhine-Main conurbation . The aim is an orderly and coordinated development of the urban region. Around 2.3 million people live in the area of the FrankfurtRheinMain regional association.
tasks
The legal basis is the law on the Frankfurt / Rhein-Main metropolitan region (MetropolG) of the Hessian state parliament of March 8, 2011. When the MetropolG came into force, the regional association was able to start its work on April 1, 2011 and succeed the planning association for the Frankfurt / Rhein-Main conurbation . From this the new association has taken over the tasks of regional land use planning and landscape planning . The focus is on a demand-oriented development of residential construction, for which appropriate areas are designated. In addition, the regional association takes on tasks in location marketing and the promotion of economic development. Regional traffic planning and traffic management as well as the resource-saving procurement of drinking and service water, the creation and updating of a regional energy and climate protection concept as well as the development and implementation of digitization strategies are among the tasks of the association. The regional association also operates a European office with the city of Frankfurt, which, among other things, acquires funding from the EU for the region.
The association regularly creates a regional monitoring system that systematically observes all important structural data of the conurbation and the Frankfurt Rhine-Main metropolitan area on the subjects of population, employment, housing, transport, services of general interest, land use and finances.
Unlike the previous planning association , which had very limited competencies, the regional association should be the central contact in the region and give it a uniform appearance.

Association history
First initiatives
The first organization for land use planning or spatial planning in the Rhine-Main area was the Society for Regional Spatial Planning. It was followed by the Untermain Regional Planning Association (RPU) as a municipal association. According to the Hessian State Planning Act, it was responsible for regional spatial planning from 1965. It included: the independent cities of Frankfurt am Main , Hanau and Offenbach am Main as well as the districts of Büdingen , Dieburg (partly), Friedberg , Gelnhausen , Hanau , Main-Taunus (partly), Obertaunus , Offenbach , Schlüchtern and Usingen .
Area Association Frankfurt
The Frankfurt Umlandverband (UVF) existed on September 11, 1974 and officially began its work on January 1, 1975. In addition to Frankfurt am Main and Offenbach am Main, it initially included around 50 cities and municipalities from the surrounding area. The UVF had more far-reaching tasks than the later planning association . In addition to land use planning , he was also responsible for waste disposal in the association's area, which later led to severe disruptions.
Planning association for the FrankfurtRheinMain conurbation
The planning association for the Frankfurt / Rhine-Main conurbation goes back to the “ conurbation law ” of the Hessian state parliament of December 19, 2000. It existed from April 1, 2001 to April 1, 2011. The main task of the association was to draw up the regional land use plan (RegFNP).
Regional association FrankfurtRheinMain
The law on the Frankfurt / Rhine-Main metropolitan region , which was passed by the Hessian state parliament on March 3, 2011, made the planning association the "FrankfurtRheinMain Regional Association" on April 1, 2011 .
