The short course in Municipal Integrated Development Planning provides you with an essential overview of the municipal development planning landscape as impacted on recently with the promulgation of the Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act (SPLUMA) of 2013. The course introduces you to the new SPLUMA by-laws and the new roles and responsibilities of both municipalities and provincial governments in development planning. This has resulted in an entirely new principle-led approach to spatial planning and land use management with a set of application procedures and protocols with their definite challenges for municipal planners, consulting planners and decision-makers.
