Master planning is the comprehensive process of envisioning and organising the development of a large-scale area or site, typically involving urban areas, campuses, or large estates. It involves the systematic analysis, assessment, and synthesis of various factors such as land use, transportation, infrastructure, environmental considerations, and community needs to create a cohesive and sustainable vision for future development. Master planning aims to guide the orderly growth and development of the area over a long-term horizon, typically spanning several decades. It often results in the creation of a detailed plan or framework that outlines land use patterns, zoning regulations, building guidelines, open space networks, transportation systems, and other elements necessary for shaping the physical and social fabric of the area.
