To keep the closely interconnected Stuttgart region successful and at the same time livable and ecologically intact: To achieve these goals, the municipalities in the region, together with the Stuttgart Region Association and other institutions, are pulling together. In contrast to other metropolises in Germany, the Stuttgart region is not dominated by the central city. Instead, there are numerous other cities in the surrounding districts that have supra-local importance as medium-sized centers. Together they form a metropolitan region that is closely interconnected through economic relationships, commuter movements and settlement structures.

International metropolises can be quickly reached via Stuttgart Airport. Transport is also well organized within the region: To ensure well-functioning local public transport, public stakeholders and private transport companies have come together under the umbrella of the Stuttgart Tariff and Transport Association (VVS).
