Planning Defined: Sub-Areas

Urban Planning = the planning of urban areas

That was easy. Now I can stop blogging. Not. Since I have yet to have come up with a compact and effective description of what exactly Urban Planning is, I will attempt to define it by demonstrating what it is. Good luck to me.

One reason Urban Planning is so difficult to explain is that it encompasses a wide range of sub-areas, as follows.
  • Land Use Planning
  • Physical Planning / Urban Design
  • Community Economic Development
  • Transportation / Infrastructure Planning
  • Environmental Planning

Other Planning topic areas, not exactly "urban:"
  • Rural Planning
  • International Development
  • Regional Planning
I'll explain each of these in upcoming posts.
