The NUP articulates clearly the means to harness the economic opportunities of urbanisation, describing it in its vision as "an engine of economic development and sustainable human settlements". To achieve this, the strategy is founded on four pillars: coordination, the increased institutional governance for multi-level governance, densification, promoting compact and integrated urban forms for economies of agglomeration, conviviality, meeting social needs for quality of life and equity, and productivity, ensuring urban environments enabling businesses. However, given the importance placed on urban economies and the territorial balance of economic development, successful implementation of the national urban policy will rely heavily on local governments and their institutional and technical capacity. This challenge is acknowledged in the National Urbanisation Policy and will require increased local ability to raise fiscal revenues, better access to urban planning data and analytical tools, sharing of management practices, and citizen participation in policy making.
