RESEARCH

The Department views the need for and use of research as fourfold, viz. to:

• Serve the wider academic/scientific planning community by providing new, and testing existing, knowledge and theories in planning and associated disciplines; 
• Provide planning practitioners with appropriate and useful knowledge by conducting reflective research on the practice, products and outcomes of planning actions/activities; 
• Ensure the sustained relevance and credibility of lecturing staff in the field, by honing their mental skills and keeping them alert to the latest developments in the field; and 
• Build bridges between members of staff, as well as between the members of staff and researchers in other institutions around shared areas of concerns/interest.
