Toolbox

The Strategic and Spatial Development Plan is core to any planning process and aims to define a shared vision of the city for a specific time-frame, based on the challenges and opportunities identified and the guiding document’s objective, and determine strategic projects to bring the vision to reality. This Block follows a participatory process involving key stakeholders such as government, experts, and civil society, to identify the main issues, to define a vision, to develop the goals necessary to achieve that vision, and the monitoring framework to evaluate the process. The vision and goals are supported by a list of target indicators related to the global, national, and local agreements on sustainable and resilient urban development.

This Block also proposes a spatialized development structure and strategies to identify the future structure of the city, based on the city boundary, connectivity scheme, and the poles of attraction, and considering transformation and consolidation areas.
