Master planning is a comprehensive approach to the long-term development and design of a specific area, such as a city, community, or large-scale project. It involves creating a strategic framework that outlines land use, infrastructure, transportation, housing, commercial spaces, public amenities, and environmental considerations. The goal is to ensure sustainable growth, efficient resource use, and a high quality of life for residents and businesses. Master planning typically includes zoning regulations, environmental impact assessments, and community input to address current needs while anticipating future demands.
