So stakeholders include a wide array of public and private organisations (municipalities and authorities, universities and institutes, associations, enterprises, chambers etc.), individuals (politicians, experts etc), and the media and, of course, the public (citizens and visitors to the city or urban area). Stakeholders can be organisations or individuals. There can be simple reasoning applied to identify stakeholders, and there are practical steps to progress and encourage stakeholder involvement, which can include processes such as activating opinion surveys.

- Economic - People whose business, livelihood, property value or cost of living may be affected;
- Use - People who use or may use facilities which will be affected;
- Social/Environmental - People who may be affected by secondary impacts;
