The fundamental objective of CSP II is support the development of more compact, connected and transit-oriented cities through a programme of spatial transformation that is driven by capable metropolitan governance systems, and supported by enabling policy and regulatory frameworks and an appropriate set of fiscal incentives.  
The outcomes that CSP is seeking to achieve are:  
  • Metropolitan municipalities that are able to implement strategies to accelerate inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction by building more inclusive, productive and sustainable cities;  
  • Policy environments that support metros to implement such strategies; and  
  • Fiscal incentives that support metros to implement such strategies.  
As before, CSP II will seek to gather, generate and share innovative and appropriate practices in the fields of governance, urban planning, finance, human settlements, public transport, climate resilience, and economic development.  

CSP II has the specific five-year objective of institutionalising within national departments, provinces and metros a set of policies, practises and activities which support CSP’s fundamental objective as stated above. This overriding institutionalisation objective is the specific contribution of CSP II, and the more outward-looking focus is perhaps the main difference from CSP I.  

The direct beneficiaries of the CSP support are South African national departments, provincial departments and metro stakeholders. The indirect beneficiaries are the citizens of the eight metros, namely, citizens of eThekwini, Buffalo City, City of Johannesburg, City of Tshwane, Nelson Mandela Bay, Ekurhuleni, City of Cape Town, and Mangaung.  

CSP II operates across the same eight metros as CSP I according to the following thematic components: Governance and Fiscal, Infrastructure Planning and Climate Responsiveness, Economic Development, and Public Transport and Human Settlements.  

The CSP, with its location within the Intergovernmental Relations division of the NT, is not intended to be the full offering of support to Metros, but rather the intention is to use its position in the NT-IGR to act as a change agent where the three (3) areas intersect, as the figure 2 below illustrates:
