Abstract: Urbanization is inevitable, so are the impacts. In order to minimize these impacts we must have city infrastructure that are properly planned, designed, operated and maintained so that it provides optimal efficiency. Part of the problem with today’s city structures in the developing countries is that they were built at a time when planning awareness was substantially different from today’s techniques and advancement. In this work, the importance and role of using GIS in city planning and solving challenges were carefully examined and analyzed so that policy makers and city planners in the developing nations could adopt GIS techniques in achieving set goals and objectives.
