Third-year students from the Department of Architecture at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) have presented preliminary findings from a 10-day peri-urban survey in the Kwahu East Municipality to the Member of Parliament for Abetifi, Bryan Acheampong. The survey forms part of the students’ academic training in planning and community analysis and covered communities including Nkwatia, Abetifi and Aduamoah.
