Planned approach and implementation

The issues addressed covered a broad spectrum of urban development issues such as organisational and political questions, process and administration, dialogue and democratic processes, legal issues, co-operation, shared vision, finance and financial models. The project has been short and broad but has resulted in a clear action plan.
