The Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) in collaboration with the Land Use and Spatial Planning Authority (LUSPA), and other stakeholders have organised a Land Use Planning and Management Information System (LUPMIS) redevelopment kick-off meeting.
The meeting aims to mark the start of the LUPMIS project to redevelop the existing system to meet modern technology in order to make issuance of permit easier and faster.
Speaking at the meeting, Deputy CEO of LUSPA, formerly Town and Country Planning Department, Chapman Owusu Sekyere, explained that it is the responsibility of LUSPA to prepare spatial plans to guide the orderly development of communities.
He added that the redevelopment of LUPMIS is crucial to meet the technological age of the modern world. "Issuance of permit is normally based on our spatial plans but with modern trends things are changing now with the coming into being of the computer.
