Spatial planning is a regalian state function that aims, through a proactive policy, to direct investment flows towards the construction of infrastructure and equipment in regions that have little or none in order to compensate for the imbalances observed in the development of territories.

Spatial planning policy is developed through the creation of spatial plans/schemes, a planning tool that serves to coordinate the planning and development of the territory, whether urban or rural.

Spatial planning guides cities and local actors towards a coherent vision of the physical organization of the territory based on their strategic vision. Its revision is one of several steps taken by the competent authorities in terms of land use planning.

Africa Development Consulting Group (ADCG) works with local governments to develop their land use plans.
