Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Master Planning?
+
Master planning creates a comprehensive framework for how land evolves over time—integrating land use, mobility, utilities, public realm, and environmental systems. It sets a vision, spatial structure, zoning and density, infrastructure phasing, and development controls to guide investment and delivery.
