The strategic development plan of Vilnius municipality is a long-term (4-10 years) planning document for environmental, social and economic development in the territory of the municipality and is prepared taking into account other planning documents at the strategic and programming level. This is one of the key strategic governance documents for the city, which then be later guided in the preparation of shorter-term strategic planning documents.
Strategic Development Plan of Vilnius City for 2021-2030 (SDP or Strategic Plan) is an integral part of strategic city management which defines the strategic directions of activities of Vilnius City Administration (VCA). The Strategic Plan enshrines the main strategic development directions of Vilnius City, sets the goals and tasks to be achieved, and the main measures to achieve the objectives set as well as a system of indicators that will help to measure the impact and success of the implemented measures in achieving the strategic goals. The SDP will be implemented through the transfer of the actions provided for therein to the Strategic Action Plans (SAP) for each year. The plan will be reviewed as the urban environment changes, new needs and opportunities emerge.
The management and monitoring system of the plan provides opportunities for stakeholders to submit comments and proposals for the inclusion, elimination and adjustment of actions or monitoring indicators.

The #Warsaw2030 Strategy defines the city’s development policy until 2030. It is an expression of Warsaw's integrated approach to shaping development policy in social, economic, and spatial-functional dimensions. It also indicates the elements on which the city's development will be based, focusing primarily on those spheres of life that can have the greatest impact on development. However, other measures aimed at the day-to-day running of the city and the implementation of the statutory duties of local government, are not be neglected.
The strategy is a general document which outlines a vision of Warsaw in the year 2030, and the objectives that will lead to fulfilling that vision. Specific solutions and tasks are defined in programmes which function as executive documents for the strategy.
The strategic objectives arise directly from the city’s vision. Their contribution to fulfilling the vision is differential. The operational objectives, in turn, specify in greater detail the mode of accomplishing each of the strategic objectives. However, they do not provide for any specific tasks or projects. Specific solutions and projects are defined in programmes which function as executive documents for the strategy.
There are four strategic objectives:
• Responsible community
• Convenient locality
• Functional space
• Creative environment
The NITIES project refers to all these objectives, although the city would focus on Objective 3.1: We benefit from an attractive public space
