On the 20th of May 2019, the Ugandan government conferred city status upon Gulu, along with four other regional municipalities across the country. Gulu will formally become a city in July 2020. Two weeks after the Ugandan government’s announcement, a workshop was held with senior planning officers from Gulu, as well as international urban design specialists, and academic researchers, to examine the existing processes of urban planning in Gulu (and in Uganda in general), and to explore how these might be further strengthened in the future.
