Südlicher Oberrhein

The Regionalverband Südlicher Oberrhein is a public corporation committed to the spatial planning and sustainable development of the region. This includes the urban district of Freiburg as well as the districts of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald, Emmendingen and Ortenaukreis.

The main mission of the Regionalverband is to reconcile the requirements of living, working, shopping and recreation and to preserve the natural foundations of the landscape. The association represents important regional interests vis-à-vis the state, the federal government and the EU and promotes cross-border cooperation, in particular within the framework of the Trinational European Metropolitan Region Oberrhein.

The Regionalverband is responsible for Regional Planning and Landscape Framework Planning. These include the creation of legally binding regulations for the future development of settlements, infrastructure and open spaces. The association advises cities and municipalities on spatial development issues and offers scope for spatially significant projects.

A central goal of the Regionalverband is to promote sustainable, socially just and ecologically sustainable development. This includes ensuring an adequate supply of housing, maintaining local jobs and strengthening the economic and knowledge region. The association is also committed to the expansion of modern communication networks and connection to digital data networks in order to strengthen the region's competitiveness.

The Südlicher Oberrhein region is known for its dynamic economic growth and high quality of life. However, it faces challenges such as increasing development differences between sub-regions and overheating trends in housing and transport. The Regionalverband is actively working to overcome these challenges through targeted measures and to make the region fit for the future.

Through its work, the Regionalverband Südlicher Oberrhein makes a significant contribution to the future viability and attractiveness of the region by creating a balance between economic growth, social justice and ecological sustainability.
