Land Use and Transportation Planning

Land use and transportation planning involves the thoughtful organization and management of land resources and transportation systems to create functional and sustainable communities. It includes decisions about where to build homes, businesses, and parks, as well as how to connect these places with roads, public transit, and walkable paths. The goal is to balance development with environmental protection, promote efficient transport options, enhance quality of life, and ensure economic growth while meeting community needs. Effective planning helps reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality, and create accessible spaces for residents.
