The goal of sustainable urban planning is to further the welfare of people and their communities by creating convenient, equitable, healthful, efficient, and attractive environments for present and future generations. Through the analytical planning process, planners consider the physical, social and economic aspects of communities and examine the connections between them. Urban planning covers issues such as transportation, land use, housing, recreation and open space, natural and cultural resources, community services, population, and economic development. The aim of any urban planning process is to achieve a sustainable development of all the sectors involved in the functioning of a city.
