land use planning frameworks

Land use planning frameworks are structured systems that guide how land is developed and preserved to balance community needs, environmental health, and economic growth. They involve assessing land potential, setting policies, and zoning rules to determine suitable areas for residential, commercial, industrial, or green spaces. These frameworks ensure land is used efficiently, sustainably, and in a way that enhances quality of life, while preventing conflicts and protecting natural resources. Essentially, they provide a strategic plan for how land is organized and managed over time to support current and future community goals.
