Urban and Rural Development
Urban development involves planning and building infrastructure, services, and facilities in cities to support populations, economy, and lifestyles. It focuses on improving transportation, housing, and public amenities to accommodate growth sustainably. Rural development, on the other hand, aims to enhance the quality of life and economic opportunities in countryside areas by improving agriculture, infrastructure, healthcare, and education. Both approaches seek balanced growth—urban areas through modernization and efficiency, rural areas through resource management and connectivity—ensuring communities thrive while maintaining environmental and social integrity.
