STEP SIX: URBAN DEVELOPMENT, MANAGEMENT ANDIMPLEMENTATIONThe outcome of the urban structure assignment approach based on the modelling of urbanmorphological types, yields development guidance and minimum performance requirementsthat give both sectoral/ departmental guidance (in terms of its function within the builtenvironment and urban development), as well as cross-cutting/ co-operative guidancebetween sectors/ departments (Figure 4-4). The latter is fundamental if an integrated andsustainable urban system is to be achieved; it assists with ensuring that strategies work insynergy and that resources are pooled, and allows for the early identification of disparities.This in turn enables timely adjustments and corrections, before these become programmaticallyirreversible and a physical reality that represents a waste of valuable resource.in 2055 (high scenario; Gauteng 2055 Trend Paper - Population and Migration by ForcedMigration Programme (Wits).
