CALL FOR PAPERS
The Session explores recent developments and innovations in spatial planning in African countries. It includes theoretical and empirical contributions addressing, but not limited to, the following issues:
o Spatial planning systems: structure, tools, practices
o Spatial planning and informal urbanization
o Spatial Planning and Social Housing
o Urban land policy and spatial planning

o The role of local government in spatial planning
o Spatial planning in Metropolitan Areas
We are also interested in hearing about historical accounts of urban planning in Africa, in both colonial and post-colonial periods.
The Session comprises country and cross-country studies, as well as individual and comparative studies of cities in Africa. This can be either standard academic research or firsthand presentations by academics, planners or policy makers engaged in developing innovative modes of urban/spatial planning in African countries.
The Session is supported by the 'African Urban Planning Research Network' (AUPRN).
Abstracts by members of the 'African Urban Planning Research Network' (AUPRN), as well as from anyone with a relevant contribution in this field, are welcome. The Session is an opportunity for those interested on these issues to share their work and experiences.
It is expected the publication of a selection of the papers in a special issue to be published in the journal 'Planning Perspectives' (https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/rppe20). Papers will undergo the standard double blind peer review process of the journal.
