Urban Development refers to the process of improving and expanding urban areas through planning and development initiatives. It encompasses a range of activities aimed at enhancing the physical, economic, social, and environmental aspects of cities and towns. This includes the construction of residential, commercial, and industrial spaces, as well as the development of infrastructure such as roads, public transportation, recreational areas, and utility services. Urban development also involves policies and strategies to manage land use, promote sustainable growth, and address challenges such as housing shortages, traffic congestion, and environmental sustainability.
