About Urban Planning

Although many of the cities of the world – particularly the oldest cities in the world – were brought up organically with little to no organization, most cities in the world today benefit from a varying degree of urban planning. Urban planning is a broad term for the strategy that goes into creating healthy living spaces in the city environment. Urban planners oversee broad things such as zoning, green spaces, vehicular arteries, and even minute details such as traffic light placement and building alignment.
