Towards the end of 2006 the national Presidency in South Africa embarked on an ambitious project of using the spatial logic and principles of the National Spatial Development Perspective (NSDP) to structure a process of high-level intergovernmental and civil society dialogue, strategising, plan-preparation, resourceallocation and implementation in all District Municipalities in the country over a three-year period. This project, in which both authors were intensively involved, is used to illustrate this tension and need for convergence and balance between servicing and transformation. The project context and essential planning and governance challenges are described, highlighting project outcomes, and exploring possible explanations and lessons learnt.enSpatial planningIntergovernmental planningTransformationStrategic planningDecision supportGovernanceDistrict municipalitiesRegional planningNational spatial developmentService deliveryDevelopment planningArticleOranje, M., & Van Huyssteen, E.
