2. Write your own opinion about “ Urban planning”.
Urban planning is urban spatial planning that covers all aspects of life in society.
The approach used in urban planning is to make a picture of the existing physical
environment pattern and the relationship of urban space with interrelated functions.
Urban planning includes organizing, or influencing, the distribution of land use
within areas that have been created or are intended to be created. Urban planning
plays a role in controlling changes in the city that occur continuously. Cities are
always experiencing social change, political change, cultural change and economic
change. The changes that occur are always related to the elements of space, public
interest, and decisions in response to change. Therefore, urban planning can be a
determinant in the development and growth of a city.
