    buildings and environments to meet the various needs
    such as social, cultural, economic and recreational etc.

    to live, to work, and to play or relax, thus bringing about
    the social and economic well being for the majority of
    mankind.
    Though the term applies to planning of new towns, cities on
    virgin land, it also equally takes into account their
    development, improvement of existing towns and their
    extensions.

    from place of residence to the place of work. As such
    there is waste of time, energy and money.

    congestion, resulting accidents.
