The document discusses how sub-regional employment targets from Directions 2031 relate to local governments and activity centers. It addresses how to practically use the projections to develop strategies and assess progression from targets to strategy development. Key points include identifying strategy components post-Directions 2031, the relationship between economic drivers, land use planning, and users. It emphasizes that activity centers are the functional economic units and any understanding of the economy must begin with how centers act individually and as networks. Local strategies and structure plans should define employment locations and targets for centers consistent with sub-regional targets.
