Urban planning aims to provide orderly expansion of cities, rational allocation of land use, and efficient transportation and waste management systems. It began in ancient Greece with Hippodamus laying out the grid pattern for Paleopolis. In the 19th-20th centuries, Napoleon III planned improvements to Paris and the first zoning regulations and regional plans were developed. Transportation planning considers strategies and designs for mobility while waste management addresses waste generation, facilities, and reducing waste streams. The Philippines faces challenges of centralized development in Manila, congestion issues, inconsistent planning models, and waste management problems, while solutions include vertical development, improved transit, and decentralization. Jakarta struggles with poor transit and traffic but is addressing issues through decentralization
