Urban planning is a field that deals with the design, development and management of cities and urban areas. In an ever-growing and urbanizing world, this discipline is becoming increasingly important to ensure that cities are livable, sustainable and resource-efficient.Rapid urbanization and population concentration in cities present challenges such as uncontrolled sprawl, traffic congestion, shortage of affordable housing, environmental degradation and lack of adequate public spaces. Urban planning emerges as a response to address these problems and create urban environments that improve the quality of life of their inhabitants.This discipline combines elements of architectural design, civil engineering, economics, sociology, and environmental management to develop strategies that guide the growth and organization of cities in a coherent and equitable manner.
