Urban Planning

Urban Planning is the process of designing and regulating the use of space within urban areas, focusing on the arrangement, appearance, and functionality of towns and cities. It involves the development of land-use plans that guide the development of residential, commercial, industrial, and recreational spaces while addressing infrastructure needs such as transportation, utilities, and public services. Urban planning aims to improve the quality of life for residents by ensuring sustainable growth, promoting efficient land use, providing amenities, and enhancing environmental quality. It encompasses various disciplines, including architecture, sociology, and environmental science, and often involves collaboration between government agencies, community stakeholders, and private sector partners. Key objectives include managing urban sprawl, promoting economic development, ensuring affordable housing, and creating accessible public spaces.
