I often wondered how can somehow plan out what to construct, especially when you get a large area. I took a week to chalk out a plan and design for our new house and needed experts' help as well. The task is harder than it looks and I thought how crucial it might be for the government as well to plan where to construct towns and cities or institutes and industries. I asked my father

Town and Country Planning

This is a planning system of the government by which they chalk out a plan about how land should be used to maintain economic development as well as environmental quality. For example, we had an industry amid a residential area and people suffered a lot for the gas emitted by the industry. As a result, after 6 years, the complaints forced the government to look after the matter and shift it to somewhere else. 

For the betterment and growth of towns and cities, such planning is a crucial thing and must be done by experts taking into considerations several things and that is why, it is very important to plan things that can benefit the public as well as the environment.
