The land management and control activities define the land-use and density of each zone and subzone of the plan, providing clear regulatory and binding directives. However, several aspects and challenges of a city are systemic and require an overarching strategy. Depending on the context and its complexity, several sectoral plans can be developed to address issues such as water bodies and drainage systems, biodiversity corridors and wetlands, disaster risk reduction, climate action, energy and information systems, mobility, heritage, housing, waste management, slum regeneration, network of public spaces, etc. 

Urgent sectors might have been already identified during the analysis and diagnostic Block or in the Strategic Development Plan, addressed with specific goals and targets. The development of sectoral plans might also improve the quality of the land-use management, integrating specific recommendations or spatial indexes. It is recommended to develop the sectoral plans in parallel with the land management plan to ensure coherence. Key experts and stakeholders should be involved during the elaboration of the plans, to improve quality and implementation feasibility.
