Despite its proximity to Frankfurt the region Oberhesse is a rural area. The population is shrinking, but the number of elderly people is rising. Politics and society use a custom-made development concept and suitable projects in order to support the region on its way to becoming a popular living and business location.
The IfLS supports the regional management Oberhesse in the fields of intermunicipal cooperation, regional marketing and location image as well as through demography-checks and demography-workshops for municipalities.
