local planning

Local planning refers to the process by which local governments develop strategies and regulations to manage land use, infrastructure, and community services. It involves assessing the needs of the community, setting goals for development, and ensuring sustainable growth. This includes zoning laws, transportation planning, and environmental protection. By engaging with residents and stakeholders, local planning aims to create well-organized, vibrant communities that meet current and future needs while preserving quality of life. It is essential for balancing development and conservation, ultimately guiding how a place transforms over time.
