City Profile or site profile
6. Vision Setting
Vision is a statement of where a city wants to be,
usually in 10-15 years
Characteristics
• specific, internally consistent, and realistic referring to the characteristics,
problems and potentials of the area
• short (no more than 60 words) ,meaningful to all stakeholder and should
be phrased in a way to be understood by everybody
• creates an identity for an area, enabling it to standout in the city
• stays the same for the intended years, tactics to implement the vision may
change
7. Vision Setting
Vision should reflect the unique attributes of the city:
• its comparative and competitive advantage;
• Its values and preferences of its residents;
• Its relationship to the global, domestic , and sub-national economies
(especially in the hinterland and competitive cities);
• Its history and culture; and
• Its physical characteristics, such as location, climate, terrain, water supply,
and scenic attributes
8. Who should participate in vision setting
● Key stakeholders group or an equivalent body, chaired by the
mayor and representing the executive leadership of a city
Methods
● Inputs for the vision can be solicited via focus group, design
charrette (a multi stakeholder event in which participants
work towards consensus on complicated questions in a very
short time) , radio-call in shows, internet sites, contests and
letters to news papers
● expert opinions of the senior personnel who were involved in
the preparation of city profile
Vision Setting
9. ● Procedure for creating vision
Step 1: Forming individual vision
- A fantasy trip :
-- imagine home, working place, community…and the city/town after
ten years leaving the present reality behind
-- Land from a fantasy trip and state all the imagination in terms of
relevant aspects of their future desired situation
-- Phrase the imagined future
- This is used as a basis for developing a vision
Step 2: Consolidation of individual visions to joint vision
- Seek the areas of common ground
- Note down ideas that the group feels good
- Differences can also be considered
Vision Setting
10. Addis Ababa City Vision Addis Ababa would
be a safe and livable city, an effective
center for national economic growth and
Africa's diplomatic capital.
Vision of Google “to provide access to the
world's information in one click”
12. Setting goals and objectives for the
priority issues
Goals
• broad objectives or general statements
that are not easily quantified and
measured
• translated into measurable objectives
that can be prioritized and pursued
13. Setting goals and objectives for the
priority issues
Objectives
• what a city wants to achieve during a
specified period of time usually 5 years.
• It is to provide direction to the planning
and implementation process.
• Derived from vision and Goal, informed
by SWOT
14. Setting goals and objectives for the
priority issues
Steps for setting objectives
• The vision should be clearly visualized
• All priority issues should be listed
• The objective should be a response to: “what
would the city like to achieve in the coming 10-
20 years?”
- specifications like quantity, standards and
locations should be included where possible
• Check whether the goals and objectives
- Address all priority issues
- Are integrated and not sectoral
- Contribution to the vision
15. Setting goals and objectives
Considerations
Goals and objectives should relate to the
identified problems
• should be phrased as a solution of the problems
• need to be phrased as specific as the underling problem with
regard to location and the group of people affected
• should clearly indicate the intended benefit for people or
municipality
• have to be set before deciding on strategies. But they may have
to be modified as a result of the strategy
• should consider cross-sectoral integration aspects rather
than being determined by sectoral orientations
• Ought to be SMART (Specific , Measurable , Achievable,
Realistic and Time bound)
17. ● Strategies can be defined as ways by which specific
objectives could be achieved
● Purpose: to ensure cities make use of new, creative and
innovative solutions for coping the problems and
challenges
Techniques for formulation of alternative strategies
- Creativity focused techniques
● brainstorming
- Rationality focused techniques
● Potentials related option identification
● Dimensions related option identification
● Roots related option identification
Formulation of strategies
19. ● Purpose: the potential fulfillment of the vision, goals,
and objectives is checked at this stage,
● it is considered to be a most important step in
planning process because the major policy and
political decisions are required are made here
Preparation of concept plan
20. Concept mapping
- The identification, organization, and graphic
depiction of relationships among concepts in a
knowledge domain
- the technique employs a nod-link formalism in
which domain key concepts are circled,
bracketed, etc,, arranged hierarchically
(general to specific) then interconnected by
lines labeled with short explanations
21. Steps to be followed
● Identify the spatial development trend of the town;
● Indicate the existing built-up area showing main elements
manufacturing and storage related activities, services,
administration, and commercial activities)
● Indicate future development / expansion areas incorporating
main elements
● Indicate major roads integrating future expansion areas and
existing built up area
● Indicate main center and sub-centers clearly
● Indicate urban redevelopment intervention areas of the urban
center
● Identify land use zoning
