Urban planning is the process of designing and organizing the physical, social, and economic elements of urban environments. It involves the development of land use policies, infrastructure, transportation systems, and public spaces to create sustainable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing communities. Urban planning aims to improve the quality of life for residents by addressing issues such as housing, transportation, environmental sustainability, and public health. It encompasses a wide range of activities, including zoning regulations, comprehensive planning, community engagement, and the integration of social and environmental considerations into development projects. Urban planners analyze current and future urban needs, ensure equitable access to resources, and manage growth to create cohesive and resilient urban areas.
