Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Urban planning |
 | | Urban, city, or town planning, deals with design of the built environment from the municipal and metropolitan perspective. |
 | | Successful urban planning considers character, of "home" and "sense of place", local identity, respect for natural, artistic and historic heritage, an understanding of the "urban grain" or "townscape," pedestrians and other modes of traffic, utilities and natural hazards, such as flood zones. |
 | | There is a direct, well-researched connection between the density of an urban environment, and the amount of transport into that environment. |
