A City Development Strategy (CDS) is a vehicle for building a Vision for an city or economic region, a Strategy for its implementation and an Implementation Plan for its realization.
The objective of the CDSs is to assist cities reach a shared vision for their future and local priorities for action to reduce urban poverty, upgrade squatter settlements, improvement of infrastructures, support good governance and facilitate local economic development processes. In doing so, it helps cities work more effectively with civil societies and donor partners to improve their contribution to national development.
