 URBAN PLANNING

 Urban planning (urban,

city, and town planning) is a
technical and political
process concerned with the
use of land and design of the
urban environment,
including transportation
networks,
 WHY?-
 to guide and ensure the
orderly development of
settlements and
communities.
 ZONING

The word is derived from the

practice of designating permitted
uses of land based on mapped
zones which separate one set of
land uses from another.
Zoning may be use-based
(regulating the uses to which
land may be put, also called
functional zoning),
or it may regulate building height
, lot coverage (density),
and similar characteristics, or
some combination of these.
CITY PLANNING
 In big cities, the department
of city planning prepares the
master plan.
The plan itself is a document,
that shows a community as it
is and recommends how it
should exist in the future. It
often contains diagrams, aerial
photos, maps, reports and
statistical information that
support the planner's vision.
ZONING
Planners must also be aware of
zoning laws, which are another
way cities control the physical
development of land. Zoning
laws designate the kinds of
buildings permitted in each
part of a city. An area zoned R-1
might allow only single-family
detached homes, whereas an
area zoned C-1 might allow only
certain commercial or
industrial uses.
A typical master plan
addresses the
following:

Land use: The major land

use recommendations
presented in a master plan
result from analysis of a
city's environmental and
physical conditions, as well
as the planner's vision for
future growth. A map of
future land use is generally
included and makes
recommendations about
land set aside for parks
and open space; residential
areas; commercial, office
and industrial uses; civic
and institutional uses; and
mixed-use areas.
METHOD OF
PLANNING
Professional
planners work in the
public sector for
governmental and non-
profit agencies, and in the
private sector for
businesses related to land,
community, and economic
development. Through
research, design, and
analysis of data, a
planner's work is to create
a plan for some aspect of a
community. This process
typically involves
gathering public input to
develop the vision and
goals for the community.
