Urban Land Act

The Urban Land Act is a regulation that oversees how land within cities and towns is used and developed. It sets rules for property ownership, land subdivision, and construction to ensure orderly growth, prevent misuse, and protect environmental and public interests. The act typically requires approval for land development, establishes guidelines for urban planning, and helps coordinate infrastructure upgrades. Its goal is to promote sustainable, organized urban expansion while balancing the needs of residents, developers, and the environment.
