Regional planning is needed to promote balanced development across urban and rural areas in a region. A region typically includes cities, towns and surrounding rural countryside that are connected through population growth and expansion. Regional plans aim to decentralize development, conserve resources, rectify disparities, and ensure equity through balanced development of industry and agriculture. Regional planning is necessary to efficiently allocate land use and infrastructure, allow growth across a larger area, protect resources like forests and wildlife, and address issues like pollution, migration and lack of opportunities in a harmonious manner.
