City Development Strategy

CITY DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
The city’s role as an engine of economic growth has become more important as the world becomes increasingly urbanized. It
is critical for cities to be strategic about their investments and growth in order to capitalize on opportunities.
A City Development Strategy is a tool that helps a city harness the potential of urbanization. It also enables a city to
develop a coordinated, institutional framework to make the most of opportunities. And, perhaps most importantly, a CDS gives
residents a chance to have a voice in the future of the place where they live.
The Cities Alliance supports cities in preparing city development strategies that link their economic growth and poverty
reduction objectives, often including citywide slum upgrading strategies.
Sustainable Urbanization
URBANIZATION – refers to the population shift from rural to urban residency, the gradual increase in the proportion of people living
in urban areas, and the ways in which each society adapts to this change. It is predominantly the process by which towns and cities
are formed and become larger as more people begin living and working in central areas.
A process that balances among economic, environmental and social perspective on urban area is prominently known as
“Sustainable urbanization”. There is an expert system required to create this balance. Alternatively, to balance various aspects,
urban planning is a conventional tool adapted. To achieve sustainability, urban planning has a key role in providing the balance. In
significantly represented portion of developing countries, City Development Strategies (CDS) is an emerging strategic urban
planning approach to maintain sustainability. This achievement varies at different level based on various definitions of CDS. By
choosing some specific definitions of CDS by international agencies, this paper studies and compares the accomplishment.
Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022 Overall Framework

We are building a future where every Filipino enjoys a matatag, maginhawa, at panatag na buhay. Just like any building
construction, we begin by laying down a strong foundation for more inclusive growth, a high-trust and resilient society, and a globally-
competitive knowledge economy. The impact will be manifested in the following outcomes:
• The Philippines will be an upper middle-income country by 2022.

• Growth will be more inclusive as manifested by a lower poverty incidence in rural areas – from 30 percent in 2015 to 20
percent in 2022.
• The Philippines will have a high level of human development by 2022.
• The unemployment rate will decline from 5.5 percent to 3-5 percent in 2022.
• There will be greater trust in government and in society.
• Individuals and communities will be more resilient.
• Filipinos will have greater drive for innovation. These foundational outcomes should be able to support the succeeding
medium term plans, all the way to 2040 and beyond.
Strategic Outcomes
A matatag, maginhawa, at panatag na buhay by 2040 will be achieved if we are able to lay down the foundation for inclusive
growth, a high-trust and resilient society, and a globally-competitive knowledge economy by 2022. This goal will be supported by three
pillars - Malasakit, Pagbabago, and Patuloy na Pag-unlad - which are further supported by strategic policies and macroeconomic
fundamentals, and built on a solid bedrock of safety, peace and security, infrastructure, and a healthy environment.
The major strategic outcomes are the following:
Pillar 1: Enhancing the social fabric (Malasakit): There will be greater trust in public institutions and across all of society.
Government will be people-centered, clean, and efficient. Administration of justice will be swift and fair. There will be greater
awareness about and respect for the diversity of our cultures.
Pillar 2: Inequality-reducing transformation (Pagbabago): There will be greater economic opportunities, coming from the
domestic market and the rest of the world. Access to these opportunities will be made easier. Special attention will be given to the
disadvantaged subsectors and people groups.
Pillar 3: Increasing growth potential (Patuloy na Pag-unlad): Many more will adopt modern technology, especially for
production. Innovation will be further encouraged, especially in keeping with the harmonized research and development agenda. And in
order to accelerate economic growth even more in the succeeding Plan periods, interventions to manage population growth will be
implemented and investments for human capital development will be increased.
 Enabling and supportive economic environment: There will be macroeconomic stability, supported by strategic trade
and fiscal policies. A strong and credible competition policy will level the playing field and encourage more investments.

national government, such as:
