urban planning
Let an agent explain urban planning and its scope, relay methods, instruments and national traditions from planning sources with attribution, describe current themes such as climate and transport planning, and distinguish urban planning from architecture, urban design, civil engineering and regional planning.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain urban planning and its scope, relay methods, instruments and national traditions from planning sources with attribution, describe current themes such as climate and transport planning, and distinguish urban planning from architecture, urban design, civil engineering and regional planning.
A technical and political process concerned with the development and design of land use, the built environment and infrastructure in cities and regions, including transport integration, housing, public space, environmental and climate planning such as heatwave plans, and the emerging field of urban science, practised through plans, zoning and projects under national traditions such as city planning in Sweden or the Japanese shiku kaisei land readjustment; urban planning balances economic, social and environmental goals and is shaped by law, participation and politics.
What it is for: Shaping cities and regions.
It can be explain scope and methods; relay instruments and traditions; describe current themes; distinguish related fields.
Distinguishing features
Land use and infrastructure
Legal instruments
Public participation
Multi-scale
What it looks like
Not a visible object; plans, maps and regulations.
Physical character
modern discipline since: late 19th century period
key instruments: master plans, zoning, land readjustment list
urban share of world population: over 55 percent
How it is recognised
Planning of land use and the built environment
City and regional planning, transport integration, heatwave plans, urban science, city planning in Sweden, shiku kaisei
Architecture designs buildings; urban design shapes spaces; civil engineering builds infrastructure

What the second pass must settle
- Should zoning, transport planning and land readjustment be separate primary entries?
- How should planning sources be linked?
- The registry entry has merged aliases naming themes and national traditions; should they be split off?
