The Regional Planning Community Prignitz-Oberhavel promotes sustainable development in the districts of Oberhavel, Ostprignitz-Ruppin, and Prignitz. It creates regional plans, develops planning foundations, and works closely with partners to ensure a future-oriented, socio-ecological transformation.
The Regional Planning Community Prignitz-Oberhavel is a legal association of the districts of Oberhavel, Ostprignitz-Ruppin, and Prignitz, founded in October 1993. As an independent corporation under public law, it is responsible for regional planning in these areas.
The main mission of the Regional Planning Community Prignitz-Oberhavel is to promote sustainable and future-oriented development of the region. This includes pursuing global climate goals, increasing energy efficiency, and expanding renewable energies. The values of the organization are based on collaboration, sustainability, and the socio-ecological transformation of the region.
The region Prignitz-Oberhavel, which covers an area of about 6,500 km² and has nearly 388,000 inhabitants, is part of the capital region Berlin-Brandenburg and the metropolitan regions Berlin-Hamburg. The region is predominantly rural and faces the challenges of structural change after 1990, which it actively accompanies and promotes[1][2].
Through the geoportal of the planning community, the contents of the regional planning maps can be viewed online, and various topics as well as spatial cuts and scales can be freely selected, making planning and decision-making more flexible and user-friendly[5].
The Regional Planning Community Prignitz-Oberhavel is thus a central actor in regional development, committed to a sustainable, energy-efficient, and socio-ecologically responsible future for the region.
