Built Environment Integration Roadmap<br />

THE SCENARIOS<br />

Fragmented & uncoordinated<br />

BE functions at metro level<br />

Government and external role players<br />

coordinated & working together<br />

Marching to the<br />

piper’s tune<br />

Weak metro, dependent<br />

on national<br />

government and<br />

unable to<br />

respond<br />

to local needs<br />

Dancing to the<br />

same RHYTHM<br />

Strong, self-reliant<br />

metro with a<br />

coordinated,<br />

integrated BE<br />

approach<br />

supported by<br />

all stakeholders<br />

From where we are, metros can drive this shift using current rules and influence<br />

THE VISION<br />

A high quality and<br />

sustainable urban<br />

environment that is<br />

accessible, safe, stable,<br />

smart and vibrant, with<br />

a dynamic and ethical<br />

property market that<br />

enables livelihoods and<br />

economic participation<br />

and is home to a culturally<br />

diverse, tolerant and<br />

socially cohesive urban<br />

community.<br />

As systems align, metros participate in<br />

transition to where we want to be<br />

Integrated & coordinated<br />

BE functions at metro level<br />

2<br />

STATUS QUO<br />

Reinforced<br />

spatial patterns;<br />

fragmented,<br />

uncoordinated,<br />

short-sighted<br />

developments;<br />

metro dependent on<br />

national government<br />

and unresponsive to<br />

local needs<br />

Singing from<br />

different song<br />

sheets<br />

All role players operate<br />

in silos, heavy reliance<br />

on national fiscus and<br />

metro unable to respond<br />

to local needs<br />

Beating their<br />

own drum<br />

Strong, self-reliant<br />

metro but no<br />

intergovernmental<br />

coherence, resulting<br />

in lack of real impact<br />

on the ground<br />

Government and external role players<br />

disjointed & isolated<br />

METROS CAN TAKE<br />

RESPONSIBILITY HERE<br />

• BE products & services<br />

(aligned transformation<br />

plans & IGR)<br />

• BE systems & processes<br />

(strengthen metro voice<br />

& influence)<br />

• BE skills & capacity<br />

(audit BE skills &<br />

performance management)<br />

• Financial viability &<br />

sustainability (reform<br />

financial systems & seeks<br />

economies of scale)<br />

• Credibility & visibility of<br />

BE disciplines (buy-in to<br />

integrated, inter-disciplinary<br />

approaches)<br />
