public planning

Public planning is the process through which governments and communities organize and develop physical, social, and economic aspects of a city or region. It involves creating strategies and policies to guide land use, transportation, housing, and environmental management, aiming to improve quality of life and ensure sustainable growth. Planners analyze current conditions, gather community input, and consider future needs to make informed decisions. The goal is to balance different interests and resources, fostering organized development that benefits residents, businesses, and the environment over the long term.
