Since its inception in April, 2020, the aim of The Planners’ Pen has been to demystify Urban Planning -making it relatable, exciting, interesting and innovative for Planning Students in Nigeria. In our last edition, we began a conscious effort to achieve this aim by focusing on one of the current trends in Urban planning – Sustainability.

In this edition, we bring to your attention, Computed-Aided Design (CAD), a very vital tool in present day Urban Planning. We featured seasoned designers who will walk us through their journey to achieving expertise in popular CAD applications. Poems, spotlights and games are also featured in this edition. It is our desire, as always, that you enjoy reading and recommend the magazine your network. We are very grateful to all our contributors and the Lagos Urban Development Initiative (LUDI) for the continued support.

Happy Reading!
