The planning profession is contested, especially in southern Africa where it remains rooted in colonial political economy, the consequential Western ideologies it poses on African cities, and its seeming failure to address the myriad problems inherent in these cities. In exploring the planning profession in Zimbabwe, this commentary involved document analysis and empirical engagement with planning professionals. It was revealed that the planning profession in Zimbabwe is exposed to and frustrated by multiple factors that complicate the integrity of the professionals and their practice. The commentary contributes to the critical reading of planning’s history and contemporary circumstances in Zimbabwe.
