SEKONDI-TAKORADI CITY SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Ghana's oil find in the Western Region has suddenly opened up many issues that call for urgent action. Expected rapid economic growth and expansion spurred by the Oil Industry is likely to draw huge populations into the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis, with current estimates under 500,000. With the drift will come many changes especially increased demand for land for many uses - residential, commercial, and industrial. To prevent being caught unawares; a situation which might result in sporadic uncontrolled and illegal physical development, the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly with support from CHF International prepared a City Spatial Development Plan, which is expected to direct development in the Metropolis and efficiently allocate land and optimize spaces. The CSDP is available for Download here.
