The framework also sets out ways to achieve these strategic outcomes. It (the framework) recommends two key urban systems that governments should focus on to manage, balance and coordinate the various domains and priorities of a city.

This system involves drawing up of long-term plans and blueprints so that cities can meet their needs in a sustainable manner. According to the framework, “The implicit principles of this system include: adopting a long-term perspective; productive decision-making; built-in flexibility; effective execution and implementation; systematic innovation; as well as robust monitoring and evaluation.”
The other system is “Dynamic and Adaptive Urban Governance”. This involves engaging diverse and capable stakeholders such as citizens, government officials and businesses, including local enterprises and start-ups, in decision making and oversight of how the city plans, utilises and manages its resources.
