Nuremberg Metropolitan Region  

Metropolitan regions are recognised as driving forces of development and as a mark of quality in the competition between locations within the new Europe. The European Union will further promote their development towards a "Europe of Regions".

The Nuremberg Metropolitan Region can build on a successful tradition of regional co-operation. On 28 April, 2005, it was approved as a European Metropolitan Region by the Ministerial Conference on Spatial Planning in Berlin. On 12 May, 2005, about 60 representatives from municipalities, economy, science, and culture signed the Charter of the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region in the Orangerie of the Friedrich-Alexander University in Erlangen. The signatories thus confirmed their intention to co-operate, and determined the premises and the functions and tasks of the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region.

They aim at further developing the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region together, to make it an area of dynamic development, beyond all administrative or competence boundaries, rather than a stage for rivalry between the city and its surroundings.
