Land Use Modeling

Land use modeling is a method used to predict how land will be used in the future. It considers factors like population growth, infrastructure, transportation, and environmental constraints to forecast developments such as homes, businesses, parks, or farms. By analyzing current trends and policies, planners can simulate different scenarios to make informed decisions about land development, balancing economic needs with environmental preservation. Overall, it helps communities plan growth sustainably and efficiently, ensuring that land is used wisely to meet future needs while minimizing negative impacts.
