National Spatial Action Areas (NSAAs). These NSAAs represent the most urgent strategic spatial development catalysts to (1) bring about radical spatial transformation at scale, and (2) manage and mitigate rising national risks, and as such, require immediate national action. Concerted and sustained intergovernmental collaboration is required in these NSAAs over the short term to:

• Target context-specific, focused and catalytic national spatial development interventions; and

• Kickstart the process of aligning plans, budgets and departmental plans in and between spheres of government around national spatial development priorities
