Urban planning is concerned with how we lay out, regulate and manage the cities, neighbourhoods and places in which we live. With cities becoming larger and more complex all around the world, it is important we manage their growth to:
- provide a good quality of life for all residents
- ensure employment opportunities
- protect their natural and historic built heritage
- ensure their resilience to natural disasters and climate change.
- A planner's overarching objective is ensuring our cities are both attractive places to live and work now, and sustainable into the future.
