Urban Planning is the process of designing and organizing the physical, social, and economic aspects of urban environments. It involves assessing land use, infrastructure, and community needs to create sustainable and functional spaces within cities and towns. Urban planning aims to improve the quality of life for residents by ensuring efficient transportation systems, accessibility to services, environmental sustainability, and the creation of public spaces.
