History

The APS was formed in 2019 when African Urban Community of Practice (AUCOP), an initiative of Glensburg was merged with the African Planning Association into a professional membership organization.^[3] The need to develop a society of planning professionals goes back to 2002Шаблон:According to whom when the African Planning Association was launched together with UN-HABITAT on the state of planning in Africa.^[4] The establishment of the African Planning Society arose from the realization of the rapid urbanization that was characterizing African cities in the post colonial era.^[5] Regardless of the rapid urbanisation, cities in Africa were not being planned well, calling for the strengthening of the planning profession in form of a society.^[6]^[7] The African Planning Society was mandated with reconciling the variations in the practice of planning in various regions of Africa.^[8]^[9] It also sought to address the challenges caused by colonial planning systems by adopting modern planning approaches.^[10] At the fifth Conference of the Association of African Planning Schools held in November 2021, African Planning Society was mandated with training planners in Africa on localization of planning theories to address urbanisation issues unique to the global south.^[11]
