Urban planning

Urban planning is a technical and political process concerned with the use of land, protection and use of the environment, public welfare, and the design of the urban environment, including air, water, and the infrastructure passing into and out of urban areas such as transportation, communications, and distribution networks.[1]Urban Planning is also referred to as urban and regional, regional, town, city, rural planning or some combination in various areas worldwide.Urban planning guides and ensures the orderly development of settlements and satellite communities which commute into and out of urban areas or share resources with it. It concerns itself with research and analysis, strategic thinking, architecture,urban design, public consultation, policy recommendations, implementation and management.
Urban Planners work with the cognate fields of Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Civil Engineering, and Public Administration to achieve strategic, policy and sustainability goals. Early urban planners were often members of the these cognate fields. Today urban planning is a separate, independent professional discipline. The discipline is the broader category that includes many different sub-fields such as land-use planning, zoning,environmental planning, and transportation planning.

The role of scale in map reading.

A map shows a part or the whole of the earth's surface on a sheet of paper. Generally maps have lines of latitude and longitude on them. They show position of places. They also show directions and distances. Maps have signs and symbols on them too. A knowledge of such symbols and signs enables us to read and understand maps.     Scale is a critical aspect of map reading as it provides the relationship between the distances on the map and the actual distances on the Earth's surface. Here's how scale influences map reading: 1. **Distance Interpretation**: The scale of a map indicates how much smaller the map is compared to the actual area it represents. For example, a map with a scale of 1:100,000 means that one unit of measurement on the map (like 1 centimeter) represents 100,000 of the same units on the Earth's surface (like 100,000 centimeters or 1 kilometer). 2. **Precision and Detail**: Larger scale maps (like 1:10,000) show smaller areas with more detail, such as in...
