“The Planning Africa 2006 conference presents an incredibly important opportunity for local and African planning professionals to meet and to present ideas and look for solutions to planning problems on the African continent. Resolutions will be passed, hopefully leading to positive action on the part of all the participants. From a South African perspective we will interact with other African delegates and endeavour to find solutions for our own specific planning needs, at a time when the country has to keep on course with its bold agenda to create housing, basic infrastructure and the upliftment of a large sector of the population.” - Cape Business News
