Urban planning is the process of designing and regulating the use of land, resources, facilities, and services within urban areas to create sustainable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing communities. It involves analyzing and forecasting urban growth, making decisions regarding zoning, infrastructure development, transportation systems, public spaces, and housing. The aim of urban planning is to enhance the quality of life for residents, improve economic viability, and ensure environmental sustainability, while accommodating the needs of diverse populations. Urban planners consider social, economic, environmental, and cultural factors to craft long-term strategies for urban development, addressing challenges such as population density, resource management, and urban sprawl.
