This paper looks at the problems of paper-based systems in managing urban development process and also identifies some of the weaknesses of the IT-based systems developed by the local authorities for similar purpose. It recommends that a Total Spatial Information System (TSIS) to be developed as a tool to help achieve effective and efficient management of urban development process.
