Regional planning
Service description
Regional planning is the supra-local, interdisciplinary and summary state planning in the area of a region, in which the state, associations of municipalities and municipalities cooperate in accordance with the Spatial Planning Act and the State Planning Act.
The main task of regional planning is the preparation of regional spatial development plans. In these plans, the objectives and principles of state planning, as they result from the state development program, are concretized and supplemented at the regional level.
The responsible bodies for regional planning are the counties and independent cities within a region; they form a planning community. In terms of planning law, Rhineland-Palatinate is divided into four regions
- Middle Rhine-Westerwald,
- Trier,
- Rheinhessen-Nahe and
- Western Palatinate
divided. Regional planning for the area of the former Rhine Palatinate region, i.e. the independent cities of Frankenthal (Palatinate), Landau in der Palatinate, Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Neustadt an der Weinstrasse, Speyer and Worms and the districts of Bad Dürkheim, Germersheim, Rhein-Pfalz-Kreis and Südliche Weinstrasse, is the responsibility of the Rhine-Neckar Regional Association in accordance with a state treaty concluded between the states of Baden-Württemberg, Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate.
