An Intermunicipal Development Plan is a high-level policy plan created by neighbouring municipalities. An IDP is designed to foster cooperation and integrated development near the municipal boundaries so that unnecessary costs and negative impacts for the municipalities are avoided.

An Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework highlights and formalizes existing collaborative work between adjacent municipalities and provides a forum to work together.
