What is CDS?
City development strategies (CDS) refer to a strategic planning approach in preparing plans for cities so that they can cope well with urban challenges. This approach has been adopted by more than 200 cities worldwide. CDS is a participatory approach in which local stakeholders are involved in setting a vision based on an analysis of their city‟s perspectives and in implementing such vision for their city through partnership-based approaches. CDS emphasizes on strategic formulation, implementation, and evaluation (Kim, 2002, Rasoolimanesh et al., 2011).
City Development Strategies (CDS) in developing countries was started in 1998 in East Asia based on the World Bank’s draft urban strategy paper (UN-Habitat, 2002). It focused on four common themes, namely;
• livability,
• competitiveness,
• good governance,
• bankability
to achieve sustainability in cities (The World Bank, 2000). —CDSs were initially implemented in Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, and China.
