PERMITTED EXTENSIVE DEVELOPMENT

› Isolated development planning and management

› Poor control over planning conversions

› Relaxed spatial planning control as an instrument in marketing the place

› Reliance on car based commuting combined with inadequate public infrastructure

› Weak local communities

SET STANDARDS › Detailed and spatial evidence base › Agreed quality standards

PLAN › Coordination of planning and management at the

metropolitan level › Strategic development management and planning at the

local level › Promote good design

INFORM AND EDUCATE › Communication methods and channells › Strengthening local communities › Appretiation of quality of space

COOPERATE › Collaborative planning › Partnerships in delivery › Shared maintenance
