land allocation

Land allocation is the process by which governments or authorities distribute land for various uses, such as housing, agriculture, industry, or conservation. It involves planning and decision-making to determine how much land is designated for each purpose, considering factors like community needs, environmental impact, and economic development. Effective land allocation ensures land resources are used efficiently, supports sustainable growth, and balances competing interests. It often includes zoning regulations and policies that guide how land can be developed or conserved, facilitating organized urban expansion and infrastructure development.
