opportunities towards creating a liveable city’. These themes are inline the 3 day online
World Planning Day Celebration Conference which will be taking place as well
as the Climate Change Action Agenda.
At this session the MEC will also recognize the excellent work of planners
in the province through an awards ceremony for municipalities that have obtained the most credible IDPs for the 2015/2016 financial year, achievement from students in Planning Schools
as well as recognition of the role of Planners at Provincial & Local Government.
