One of the main aspects discussed throughout the term, was the expansion of cities (whether through physical expansion of existing boundaries, primarily through suburban sprawl, or through development occurring in existing urban built-up areas). Discuss the challenges and opportunities of expansion of cities. Make sure to include in your example, what type (or variety) of policy instruments can be used to manage growth and why (e.g. choice of a particular policy instrument/mechanism + reason for choice + expected outcome + expected results/advantages +/- limitations of implementing that particular instrument), the role and importance of various policy actors and stakeholders, negotiations or tensions resulting from the interaction of policy actors etc. You are not limited to those aspects, but hopefully they can provide some guidance and points of reference.
