The ability to respond to ever-changing demands for urban management and human settlement services depends on the governments’ sustainable infrastructure development, especially at the municipal level. Spatial planning frameworks in local government play a crucial role in guiding the provision of infrastructure development projects. However, in South Africa, most municipalities need help to invest in finance capital infrastructure development projects, and manage, maintain, and capitalise infrastructure assets under construction. Thus, this study aims? to develop a model to prioritise and coordinate infrastructure development projects and asset management at the municipal level in South Africa. The study adopted a qualitative approach to collect data and used content analysis to achieve saturation with ten participants. The sample comprised five City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality departments. Findings reveal that infrastructure provision at the municipal level is germane to improving and achieving many SDGs and promoting economic growth that empowers communities to reach their goals. As part of the implications, a model was developed to enhance prioritising and coordinating infrastructure development projects and asset management at the municipal level in South Africa.
