Regional Governance Rhein-Neckar: the idea behind
• Not creating new administrative levels but establishing new forms of cooperation
• overcoming administrative borders
• flexible constellation of actors from economy, science, politics and administration “flexible geometry”
• various forms of governance arrangements:
- different regional conditions, historical development and socio-cultural factors require different
organisational structures

Metropolitan Governance in the Rhein-Neckar Metropolitan Region means:
• cooperation between economy, science, politics and administration across 3 federal state’s borders
Unique feature in the Rhein-Neckar Metropolitan Region: • The mandate territory of the Verband Region Rhein-Neckar is
congruent with the Metropolitan Region’s territory
• A regional “parliament” (the “Verbandsversammlung”) unites the political heads of 15 cities and districts which ensures best possible implementation of political decisions
• regional planning and regional development go hand in hand, empowered by a unique model of public-private partnership
