	Urban planning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the nineteenth century, urban planning became influenced by the newly formalised disciplines of architecture and civil engineering, which began to codify both rational and stylistic approaches to solving city problems through physical design.
		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.
		In some countries declining satisfaction with the urban environment is held to blame for continuing migration to smaller towns and rural areas (so-called urban exodus).

	Urban and regional planners
		Planners also may be involved in drafting legislation on environmental, social, and economic issues, such as sheltering the homeless, planning a new park, or meeting the demand for new correctional facilities.
		Urban and regional planners often confer with land developers, civic leaders, and public officials and may function as mediators in community disputes, presenting alternatives that are acceptable to opposing parties.
		Urban and regional planners often travel to inspect the features of land under consideration for development or regulation, including its current use and the types of structures on it.

	City Planner
		City planners help design cities, determine such things as the height of buildings, the width of streets, the number of street signs, and the design and location of “street furniture” (everything from bus stops and lamp posts to newsstands and wastebaskets).
		If the planner is redeveloping an area (as opposed to groundbreaking or landfilling it), he must evaluate existing buildings and neighborhoods before determining what can be done to change the standing structures.
		Occasionally, urban planners must also design or refurbish the town’s zoning regulations on building usage, in the manner that is best for the region.
