Introduction

Urban and regional planning promotes the physical, aesthetical, economics and social development of urban and rural areas in the nest interest of the community. It achieves this through guidance and control that ensures development occurs in the right place, at the right time and for the right reasons.

It also tries to secure a proper balance between competing demands for land so that the land is used to the best of all the community. Apply Now
