Research on Planning and Management of Regional Parks in German Metropolitan Regions：A Case Study on Regional Park Rhein Main in Frankfurt/Rhein-Main Metropolitan Region
The metropolitan region represents an important spatial category of the 21 century in China, which promotes integrated economic development during the ongoing urbanization process. While the physical infrastructures in metropolitan regions have gained visible improvement, problems such as deficit of green spaces, fragmentation of urban landscape and worsening of regional cultural landscape heritage still exist and lead to weaken competitiveness of metropolitan regions. The regional park has been developed as a new management instrument of open spaces in regional context for about 20 years in Germany. Regional parks provide nearby leisure for urban residents, as well as play an increasingly role in improving regional image and enhancing regional identity as well as encouraging urban agriculture in metropolitan regions. This paper takes the Regionalpark Rhein Main in Frankfurt/Rhein-Main metropolitan region as an exemplary case and analyzes the planning concepts, development progressing and management strategies as well as the existing problems in this case. The study indicates that lfexible planning and space deifnition, adaptable management strategies as well as project-oriented implementation institution are meaningful for a permanent healthy development of regional parks in metropolitan regions.
