254 ManagingUrbanizationUnder a DecentralizedGovernance Framework
The transformation of Davao City into a metropolis should not
be seen only as an urban redefinition. More importantly, it implies
that the urban management paradigm of the city should be broadened
rather than follow the traditional city management approach.
The development plan for the new metropolis must consider a contemporary
urban-management system (i.e, organizations, human
resources, operational systems and approaches) that will aid this transition
process.
