Definition: A project is a specific activity that has a well-defined target and capable of being

evaluated by the SMART criteria. The project has three phases to pass through before hitting its
target. These are: the identification, evaluation and implementation.

Project identification: the process of identifying those projects that puts the city in a relatively
better position should pass through certain steps. This process of identifying such projects should
be scrutinized using the following points. These are:
 All stakeholders which are going to be impacted by the project should be involved in the
identification process. (the public should be first consulted about its needs and priorities)
 The identification process should first come up with all possible alternative projects so
that the best would be easily chosen from using some objective set of criteria (as
discussed in the past subtopic and to be also discussed in detail in the later paragraphs).
