clarify which interventions are needed and which of these projects have priority in order to trigger the motor of the emancipation machine. The second added stage is the formulation of smaller, very local and larger stakeholder workgroups. In these workgroups an equilibrium of power should be achieved between the wide scope of stakeholders. A composition of larger stakeholders, which carry the means and are therefore necessary for the financing of the projects, and small local stakeholder, which have the expertise and knowledge of the functioning of the neighbourhood, is the goal of this aggregation. These workgroups will share the right amount of apparatus and practical information that is needed to develop interventions that will respond to both the global as the very local forces of transformation.
The third phase is the strategy formulation and implementation. The stages in this phase exist of: formulating priority strategies; negotiating and agreeing action plans; designing and implementing demonstration projects; and integration projects and plans into strategic approaches. During this phase issues are clarified; strategic options are elaborated and evaluated; action plans are developed and negotiated; plans and strategies are confirmed through Review Workshops (United Nations Centre for Human Settlements, 2001: p.13); demonstration projects are implemented; strategies and projects and action plans are integrated across sectors and geographical areas; and differences, gaps and conflicts are reconciled. The aimed outcomes of this phase are strategy frameworks, negotiated detailed action plans, demonstration projects, wider strategies and over-all integration of approaches.
These workgroups will moreover be formed as a result of the project locations designated by the local strategy. These locations answer to different orders in the system (see chapter 10. Method) and therefore also differ in the scope of involved stakeholders. For instance, a project on the first order is the transformation of the market and the Afrikaander-square. This project lies on the scale of the city and the region, and is therefore focused on more professional local stakeholders. While other projects located in the second and third order can be more informal and leave space for residents’ initiatives.
In this third phase I have added two stages for the participatory process of the neighbourhood development. These are: the development of a local strategy; and forming local/larger stakeholder workgroups. In the second phase the analytical tools and the principles for the development were set. In this following phase these tools will be translated into a local strategy for the development of the neighbourhood. This strategy will show which areas need to be developed in order to realise the proposed method, that will facilitate a more progressive integration of the ethnic population of the neighbourhood. So the local strategy will
