Land Use Planning Policy

Land Use Planning Policy involves making decisions about how different areas of land should be used, such as for housing, agriculture, or conservation, to promote sustainable development. In the context of environmental policy making, it aims to balance economic growth, community needs, and the protection of natural resources. This involves assessing the environmental impacts of land use decisions to ensure that ecosystems are healthy, communities are livable, and future generations can enjoy natural spaces. Effective land use planning helps create orderly development while minimizing harm to the environment.
