The regional authority (an official body in charge of housing planning) proposed the plans to build the new districts on Tuesday, the Frankfurter Rundschau reports. The regional authority forecasts that an additional 184,000 housing units will be needed in the region by 2030. This is at the request of Thomas Horn (CDU), director of the regional authority, to discuss the proposed new neighbourhoods. Minister president of Hesse Volker Bouffier (CDU) has also come out in favour of the new building plans around the Main-Taunus-Centre mall between Frankfurt, Sulzbach and Liederbach. But equally, the regional authority can only go ahead with the building around the Main-Taunus-Centre if Frankfurt is in compliance.
