Understanding Vision and Goals

• Vision is the destination that one visualises and wants to achieve, but the path is unknown. This is where goals come into play. They help you to set the path for the rightful achievement of your vision, acting as milestones. (Bhattacharya 2016).
• Goals are set as a specific target that move you towards your vision. As you write your goals make them very specific and quantifiable in some way. Goals should be written in present tense and with a clear timeframe for achieving your set goals. (Robson 2016)
• Goals are short term, visions are not
• Visions are limitless, goals are not
• National vision to be achieved through goals of human settlement plans. Or vision of each human settlement plan be achieved through set of goals and the human settlement plans together would contribute to realization of the national vision of vibrant human settlements.
