 Urban planning  (social control)   | |
|---|---|
Urban planning, also known as town planning, city planning, regional planning, or rural planning, is a technical and political process that is focused on the development and design of land use and the built environment, including air, water, and the infrastructure passing into and out of urban areas, such as transportation, communications, and distribution networks and their accessibility.[1]
Traditionally, urban planning follows a top-down approach in master planning the physical layout of human settlements.[2]
