Main regions 1:50000 Lower Austria

For operational reasons, Lower Austria’s spatial planning has divided the territory into five action areas, five “main regions”. These summarise areas which have common characteristics (geographical relations, similar economic structure, resource allocation) or similar problems. The main task is to articulate the concerns of these regions, to formulate important development priorities and to initiate appropriate lead projects.

Most recently, a review of the regional development strategies of each of the five main regions was carried out in 2014. The resulting “main regional strategies 2024” represent the umbrella for sub-regional strategies as well as for measures and projects at regional and local level. They are the joint product of all actors involved in regional development in the main regions and define strategic driving directions and objectives in the four fields of action: value creation, environmental systems and renewable energies, services of general interest and cooperation systems.

The main regional strategies are also the basis for action of the NÖ.Regional.GmbH, whose main task is to implement the main regional strategies and define the content profile, objectives and tasks of the service organisation.
