Städtebau

Städtebau, or urban planning, is the art and science of designing and organizing cities and neighborhoods. It involves making decisions about the placement of buildings, roads, parks, and public spaces to create functional, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing environments. Urban planners consider factors like transportation, community needs, environmental impact, and growth management to improve quality of life. The goal is to develop urban areas that are efficient, accessible, and resilient, fostering social interaction and economic activity while ensuring responsible land use.
