In June 2008, URP reported the completion of its strategic projects for 2006/2007. The strategic projects include the Urban Renewal Spatial Development Framework (SDF), which seeks to integrate Khayelitsha and Mitchell's Plain within the urban space in the greater Cape Town. The URP has a budget allocated for funding till 2011.

Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain have been identified as urban renewal focus areas. Because both are located within the municipal boundaries of the City of Cape Town, the Urban Renewal Strategy is implemented and monitored by the City's Urban Renewal Programme Department.

National Ministers are deployed as URP national political champions. Premier Helen Zille is the provincial political champion, and the Executive Mayor of Cape Town, Dan Plato, is the local political champion. Cited: Capetown.gov.za
