African Planning Association

African Planning Association was a professional town planning institute formed in 2006 following resolutions of the first Planning Africa Conference in September 2002 held in Durban, South Africa.[1] Its formation combined representatives from UN-HABITAT, Commonwealth Association of Planners, and South African Planning Institute.[1] It sought to address gaps in the practice of planning in Africa as a rapidly urbanizing region.[2] In 2019, following the publication of the State of Planning in Africa report,[3] the African Urban Community of Practice (AUCOP) and the African Planning Association gave way to the African Planning Society.
