Due to its poly-centric nature, it is not actually one metropolitan area in the geographic sense of the word as an agglomeration of nearby urban areas, rather it is a registered association, the Europäische Metropolregion Mitteldeutschland e.V whose membership is composed of towns, cities, municipalities, and companies, colleges and chambers of commerce in these centers and whose representatives vote upon new members.http://www.region-mitteldeutschland.com/en/organisation/history/ For example, Jena joined the Metropolitan Region in 2009. The registered association owns the management company Metropolregion Mitteldeutschland Management GmbH. As such it forms a planning and marketing framework for the region while retaining the legal independence of its members.
