Surveyors, planners, engineers, and other built-environment professionals in Ghana have been urged to break down silos and collaborate more effectively to tackle the country's growing land, infrastructure, and spatial-development challenges. This was emphasized during the 2026 Annual Conference of the Land Surveying Division of the Ghana Institution of Surveyors (GhIS) in Accra, where professionals were challenged to rethink their approach to working together.
The call for stronger collaboration emerged from the need to address issues such as recurring floods, illegal mining, unplanned settlements, and pressure on urban infrastructure, which demonstrate the necessity of sound spatial information and coordinated action involving various stakeholders.
