As part of AAPS’s strategy to promote planning law reform in Africa, over the past week a gathering of urban planning and legal experts have taken part in a workshop at the Rockefeller Foundation Centre in Bellagio.
The meeting agreed to consider a long-term strategy to bring about urban and planning law reform on the continent, and produced a communiqué (click HERE to download, pdf format) as the statement of intent. The conclusions of this meeting will be taken forward to the September 2012 World Urban Forum, in partnership with UN-Habitat.
Great credit must go to the meeting coordinator, Stephen Berrisford (who has also produced the AAPS planning law curriculum, available HERE) for his excellent work in organizing and energising this invaluable workshop.
