Urban Planning

Urban planning is the process of designing and managing the development and growth of urban areas, including towns, cities, and regions. It involves the strategic organization of land use, infrastructure, housing, transportation, and services to create functional, sustainable, and livable environments. Urban planning considers various factors, such as population density, zoning, public spaces, and environmental impacts, to facilitate efficient land use and improve the quality of life for residents. Planners work with government agencies, community organizations, and the public to develop comprehensive plans that address current needs and future growth, balance economic development with social equity, and promote environmental sustainability.
