In recent decades the challenges of globalisation, European integration and strengthened regionalisation have led to a reassessment of metropolitan regions. In Germany, the guiding principles issued by the Conference of Ministers for Spatial Planning in 2006 provided an occasion on which to rethink the role of border regions in the context of the discourse on metropolises. The metropolitan potential of border regions is far from fully exploited. This is particularly true in relation to cross-border spatial development. The concept of metropolitan border regions could be a promising way of intensifying cross-border cooperation and territorial integration. A precondition for this is that metropolisation strategies are proactively pursued using key measures and that existing structures of cooperation are further developed towards 'metropolitan' governance.

Der demographische Wandel (Rückgang, Alterung, Internationalisierung durch Zuwanderung) wird alle deutschen Großstadtregionen treffen, allerdings zu unterschiedlichen Zeitpunkten und mit unterschiedlichem Gewicht - in Abhängigkeit von ihrer wirtschaftlichen Dynamik (schrumpfende vs. wachsende Regionen). Entsprechend ungleich sind die Chancen verteilt, die damit verbundenen Probleme zu bewältigen. Da Großstadtregionen auch in Zukunft die Zentren der Wirtschaftskraft, Standorte von Wissenschaft und Forschung sowie Schwerpunkte des kulturellen und sozialen Wandels sein werden, sollten sie gezielt als Motoren der Entwicklung gestützt werden. Dies erfordert vor allem eine eigenständige stadtregionale Politik- und Handlungsebene, wirtschafts- und sozialpolitische Strategien sowie an den Zielen der Nachhaltigkeit orientierte Entwicklungs- und Standortkonzepte im regionalen Maßstab.
