Development

Development is the process of planning and constructing buildings and other forms of real estate and public and private spaces. Planners can guide development through mechanisms such as zoning codes and permit processes. Understanding how development affects a community can help planners guide smart, equitable growth in their cities. Planetizen Courses will take you deep into important issues like urban growth and sprawl, displacement and gentrification, and density.
