Land Use Planning

Meaning
Land Use Planning
Land use planning is the term used for a branch
of public policy which cover various disciplines
which seek to order and regulate the use of land
in an efficient and ethical way, thus preventing
land use conflicts
Land Use Planning
Definition:-
The Canadian Institute of Planners offers a
definition that: "[Land use] planning means
the scientific, artistic, and orderly disposition
of land, resources, facilities and services with
a view to securing the physical, economic and
social efficiency, health and well-being of
urban and rural communities
Functions
At its most basic level land use planning is
likely to involve zoning and transport
infrastructure planning. In most developed
countries, land use planning is an important
part of social policy, ensuring that land is
used efficiently for the benefit of the wider
economy and population as well as to protect
the environment.
Functions
Land use planning encompasses the following
disciplines:
 Architecture
 Environmental planning

 Geography

 Landscape architecture

 Regional Planning

 Sustainable Development

 Urban design

 Urban planning

 Urban Renaissance
Architecture
Architecture is the art and science of designing buildings
and other physical structures. Architecture is the process
and product of planning, designing and constructing
space that reflects functional, social, and aesthetic
considerations. It requires the manipulation and
coordination of material, technology, light, and shadow.
Architecture also encompasses the pragmatic aspects of
realizing designed spaces, such as project planning, cost
estimating and construction administration.
 Architectural works are often perceived as cultural and

political symbols and as works of art. Historical

civilizations are often identified with their surviving
architectural achievements
Environmental planning
Environmental planning is a field of study that since the 1970s
has been concerned with a given society's collective
stewardship over its resources that ultimately includes those
of the entire planet. The aims of environmental planning are
to integrate the public sector urban planning with the
concerns of environmentalism to ensure sustainable
development, notably of air, water, soil and rock resources.
Planning seeks to include into consideration for future growth
of society factors other than those urban planners have
traditionally factored in economic development, such as
transportation, sanitation, and other services in legislator
decisions, by working with environmental planners to add
sustainable (social, ecological & equity) outcomes as
important factors in the decision-making process.
Geography
Geography is the study of the Earth and its lands, features,
population, and phenomena. A literal translation would be
"to describe or write about the Earth". Four historical
traditions in geographical research are the examination of
natural and human phenomena (geography as a study of
distribution), area studies (places and regions), study of
man-land relationship, and research in earth sciences.
Modern geography is a broad discipline that primarily seeks
to understand the Earth and all of its human and natural
complexities—not merely where objects are, but how they
have changed and come to be. As "the bridge between the
human and physical sciences," geography is divided into two
main branches—human geography and physical geography
Landscape architecture
Landscape architecture is the design of outdoor
and public spaces to achieve environmental,
socio-behavioral, and/or artistic outcomes. It
involves the systematic investigation of
existing social, ecological, and geological
conditions and processes in the landscape,
and the design of interventions that will
produce the desired outcome. The scope of
the profession includes: urban design;
site planning; town or urban planning;
environmental restoration; parks and
recreation planning; green infrastructure
planning and provision; and private estate
and residence landscape master planning and
design; all at varying scales of design,
planning and management. A practitioner in
the profession of landscape architecture is
called a landscape architecture
Central Park is a standard example of landscape
architecture.
Regional planning
Regional planning is a branch of land use
planning and deals with the efficient
placement of land use activities,
infrastructure, and settlement growth across
a significantly larger area of land than an
individual city or town. The related field of
urban planning deals with the specific issues
of city planning. Both concepts are
encapsulated in spatial planning using a
Eurocentric definition
Sustainable development
Sustainable development is a pattern of resource use
that aims to meet human needs while preserving the
environment so that these needs can be met not only in
the present, but also for future generations. The term
was used by the Brundtland Commission which coined
what has become the most often-quoted definition of
sustainable development as development that "meets
the needs of the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
URBAN CITY AND
TOWN PLANNING
Urban, city, and town planning
integrates land use planning and
transport planning to improve the built,
economic and social environments of
communities. Regional planning deals
with a still larger environment, at a less
detailed level.
Urban planning can include urban
renewal, by
adapting urban planning
methods to existing cities suffering from
decay and lack of investment
Urban design
Urban design concerns the arrangement,
appearance and functionality of towns and
cities, and in particular the shaping and
uses of urban public space. It has
traditionally been regarded as a
disciplinary subset of urban planning,
landscape architecture, or architecture and
in more recent times has been linked to
emergent disciplines such as
landscape urbanism. However, with its
increasing prominence in the activities of
these disciplines, it is better
conceptualized as a design practice that
operates at the intersection of all three, Waterside
and requires a good understanding of a
range of others besides, such as urban
regeneration in
economics, political economy and Birmingham, England.
social theory
Urban renaissance
Urban renaissance is a term
used to describe the recent
period of repopulation and
regeneration of many
British cities, including
Birmingham,[1] Bristol,
Cardiff[2], Glasgow,
Liverpool, Manchester, and
parts of London after a
period of inner city
