Paper Summary

The article explores how spatial planning has evolved in Ghana over the years. It shows that spatial planning in Ghana started in the 1940s with the Town and Country Planning Ordinance. Currently, planning is guided by the Land Use and Spatial Planning Act 2016. However, there may be conflicts between different planning laws. The article suggests that Ghana's planning system needs to evolve further to avoid conflicts and improve coordination.
