	Urban planning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paris, France: One of the world's great cities that began unplanned, but was later re-engineered through the construction of an extensive system of wide boulevards overlaid on the medieval street grid, by the Baron Haussmann under the reign of Napoleon III in the 19th century.
		The basic plan is a central plaza with city services, surrounded by a compact grid of streets and wrapped in a wall for defense.
		While it is rare that cities are planned from scratch planners are important in managing the growth of cities, applying tools like zoning to manage the uses of land, and growth management to manage the pace of development.

		City planning embraces the organisation, or conscious influencing, of land-use distribution in an area already built-up or intended to become built-up.
		While it is rare that cities are planned from scratch (and, in case, with some risk of unsuccessful examples like for Brasilia), planners are important in managing the growth of cities, applying tools like zoning to manage the uses of land, and growth management to manage the pace of development.
		There are some cities that have been planned from conception, and while the plans often don't turn out quite as planned, evidence of the initial plan often remains.
