This document discusses different scales and types of urban planning. It describes regional planning as planning for a geographical area with homogeneous characteristics, such as a metropolitan, river valley, or administrative region. The goals of regional planning include balanced development, population and employment balance, protecting sensitive areas, rational transportation, and comprehensive development plans. Area plans provide more detailed development plans within the framework of a larger master plan. Perspective plans are long-term written documents that establish goals, policies, and strategies for spatial and economic growth over long periods. The document also discusses urban renewal, conservation, rehabilitation, and redevelopment.
