Abstract
This investigation aimed to explore whether strategic planning systems significantly influence the advancement of sustainable urban road infrastructure within Ugandan Town Councils. The strategic planning systems were delineated into six components: planning tools, planning resources, consideration of internal and external factors, resistance to planning, and functional coverage. Grounded in the socio-technical systems theory, the study adopted a positivist philosophical approach, employing a descriptive cross-sectional survey design. The target population is comprised of established Town Councils in eastern and central Uganda as of July 1, 2022. The
results revealed a statistically significant positive correlation between strategic planning systems and sustainable urban road infrastructure development (R-value = 0.589, R-squared = 0.346, F statistic = 14.837, p < .001). Encouraging and enhancing the utilization of strategic planning resources and tools during the strategic management process could foster the development of sustainable urban road infrastructure. Further research encompassing diverse urban landscapes, varied performance metrics, and longitudinal designs could contribute to extending the generalizability of these findings.
