The Land Use and Development Control Act (LUDA)

The Land Use and Development Control Act (LUDA) is a law that guides how land can be used and developed in a community. It helps local governments plan for growth and manage land resources effectively, ensuring that developments are suitable and safe for residents. LUDA covers zoning regulations, which dictate what types of buildings can be constructed in certain areas, and it promotes sustainable development practices. By balancing various needs—like housing, businesses, and green spaces—LUDA aims to enhance community well-being while protecting the environment and preserving public interests.
