Urban Planning: Shaping Sustainable Communities

Urban planning is an emerging discipline that has emerged due to increased health concerns caused by overpopulation, inadequate sanitation, and pollution. The way cities were structured previously made it difficult for inhabitants to live, stroll, or take public transportation. It is the art of shaping, designing, and structuring cities and communities. It entails various processes, including the layout and construction of buildings, transportation networks, public areas, and adequate facilities.
It is a much-needed discipline because cities are becoming increasingly overcrowded, and resources are scarce. Because of the ongoing global warming and environmental catastrophe concerns, it is critical to take action. That is why urban planning has grown in importance; it aids in the discovery of solutions for the most efficient use of land and infrastructure.
