Definitions
« Urban planning is defined as a tool allowing to attain a sustainable urban development. It
helps envisioning a mid- and long-term territory while looking to rationalize the means to
achieve their goals.
It allows to articulate the needs for infrastructures and services with the population increase
but also the demand for urban extension with the protection of the environment. In a given
perimeter, it suggests a framework to coordinate public (and private) action as well as for
the economic and social development. In this way, it organizes humanitarian action that
has an impact on the territory while framing the development by minimizing the adverse
effects.
