Geographically, it is at the very centre of Europe: the Metropolitan Region FrankfurtRheinMain. Germany’s traditional heart of finance and trading is one of the most dynamic and innovative regions in the EU and an important hub of international transport. Over a hundred research institutes as well as 30 universities develop solutions for the future here and around 5,8 Million people enjoy an excellent quality of life with varied cultural and leisure facilities. The European Office of the Metropolitan Region FrankfurtRheinMain is our “Link to Europe”, representing the Regional Authority FrankfurtRheinMain and all the municipalities in the greater Metropolitan Region covering major cities like Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, Mainz, Darmstadt or Offenbach, as well as regional organisations like the Chamber of Commerce Frankfurt or the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund Servicegesellschaft (rms) GmbH. Our thematic fields of work in Brussels include regional and urban development, land-use planning, mobility, digitalisation, energy, climate and environmental protection and – last but not least – R+I. It’s not only our mission to open doors for our partner’s projects to EU funding, but also to shape the European funding landscape actively and engage in the EU policy-making on all dossiers relevant for the Metropolitan Region.

What comes next, after the adoption of the Leipzig Charter and Territorial Agenda of the European Union? What role do metropolitan regions play?
At the end of 2020, the revised Leipzig Charter and the Territorial Agenda of the European Union will be signed by the national governments. Both strategies set new standards for European spatial planning and urban policy. Metropolitan regions play an increasingly important role in this, because a city alone cannot meet the challenges of the future. Join this online meeting to discuss necessary measures that should be taken for a successful implementation and how metropolitan regions can foster this process.
