Abstract

The South African Planning Institute (SAPI) Conference, “Planning Africa 2024: Sustainable futures – From theory to practice”, brought together experts in urban and regional planning to explore novel approaches for supporting sustainable urban development. The conference addressed ten key sub-themes, including sustainable development planning within the African context, informality, public transportation and paratransit systems, escalating climate-related challenges, infrastructural aspirations, indigenous knowledge systems, local governance, just urban transitions, resilience, and diverse planning systems across Africa. It provided a dynamic platform for professionals, researchers, and policymakers to exchange ideas and experiences, encouraging active discussion on the critical challenges and opportunities in sustainable planning. This special issue highlights select contributions from the conference.
