1. City Development Strategies: some key characteristics
• Long term vision for short term action• Collective city vision• Focus on points of leverage• Tool for mobilising resources across city• Targeted involvement of poor communities• Planning across boundaries• Co-ordinated public sector spending

eThekwini Strategic Planning Approach
![Page 7: 1 Integrated development planning – a strategic tool for embedding sustainable practices in local government: the experiences of the eThekwini Municipality,](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051620/56649edb5503460f94bea99f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

STRATEGIC FOCUS AREAS:
Our Long Term Development Framework
– Meeting Basic Needs (unwind apartheid legacy)
– Strengthening the Economy (build on strengths)
– Building skills & Technology (Create the new invest in the future)

Outlines our city’s five year strategic focus areas within overall LTDF
Strategic, not comprehensive!!!
Not just the city’s planning tool, but an inclusive planning instrument that mobilises support of all city sectors and players
Helps direct city spending in a more strategic way
IDP firmly institutionalised in Council
IDP drives the PMS !
Our 5 year IDP: some successes
![Page 9: 1 Integrated development planning – a strategic tool for embedding sustainable practices in local government: the experiences of the eThekwini Municipality,](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051620/56649edb5503460f94bea99f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Entrenching sustainability as part of the way we do business: IDP Review process re-oriented way we
thought about sustainability
Chapter on Sustainable Development was re-written!
Now all Deputy City Managers are accountable for ensuring sustainable practices
Our 5 year IDP: some successes

• In the past: started strategic processes by commissioning SECTORAL ANALYSES
• We then developed detailed SECTORAL STRATEGIES
• Then came the challenge of INTEGRATION!• This was based on a conceptual model of
“thinking in parts”
3. Relationship between IDP / CDS and our Energy strategy
![Page 11: 1 Integrated development planning – a strategic tool for embedding sustainable practices in local government: the experiences of the eThekwini Municipality,](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051620/56649edb5503460f94bea99f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

• We have since learnt that this approach does not work!!!
• It is more useful to build in sustainable energy issues as part of the strategic framework
• Lets not treat the CDS / IDP process as a separate, but related process – they are not!
• Does not mean that a separate Energy Strategy is not necessary, but only that the issue is to be mainstreamed
• Examples from eThekwini:– Project on harnessing methane gas – S D F promotes energy efficiency

From our SDF:
Current trend scenario• development in outlying areas not sustainable
• reduction in maintenance/ rehabilitation of infrastructure (need to spend 1.7% of asset value = R868M)
![Page 13: 1 Integrated development planning – a strategic tool for embedding sustainable practices in local government: the experiences of the eThekwini Municipality,](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051620/56649edb5503460f94bea99f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

• Outward growth forces spending on new platform infrastructure with a high cost : benefit ratio
• 20 year population projection – no growth
• Contributes to confidence crisis in CBD & SIB
• Public transport system becomes non-viable because it is reliant on a healthy CBD and SIB
• Not energy efficient – greater carbon monoxide emissions as a result of poor spatial form
• Housing in outlying locations incur high transport subsidy costs, e.g. if a house was located centrally rather than in Mpumalanga, the higher cost of land is offset in 5 to 7 years through savings on transport subsidies
SDF Current trends
Unsustainable because:

Urban Edge• Includes 83% of population• Includes entire HPPTN• Includes majority of high density informal settlements• Sewer capacity inside line
Urban core• Need to differentiate areas of developmental intervention verses maintenance• Need to identify area of highest level of infrastructure excess capacity for densification at lowest cost
Our new Framework to ensure Sustainability
Rural/Peri urban• 65% of the municipal area• dispersed settlements• sparsely populated• important environmental services• rich cultural traditions
High Priority Public Transport Network

• From our process in eThekwini, we have learnt that:
– the IDP/CDS process affords us an excellent opportunity to mainstream energy issues
– If IDP is strategic, has full support of political and administrative leadership, promotes innovation and creativity, then the IDP can be a critical vehicle to achieve aims of sustainable energy strategies
– Lets not give the energy strategy a life of is own as a sectoral issue – instead champion it as part of the strategic vision of the city
