This paper focuses on the first meeting of the Joint Intergovernmental Regional Committee on Human Settlements and Environment which was held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from 28 June to 2 July 1982, highlighted the important role that physical planning was expected to play in national development. It emerged at the meeting that a number of countries in Africa did not have the necessary expertise to develop and implement national physical planning policies. The meeting was of the view that technical assistance at the regional level should accordingly be focused on this problem in order to help those countries that had no technical expertise to formulate national physical planning policies in the foreseeable future. It felt that particular stress should be laid on the training of staff in physical planning.
