PART B_2

Town planning is the process of developing and designing a town in order to make everyday life more convenient for people. For example, roads, buildings, houses, and public spaces. Also, a city should have a proper transportation system, walkable streets, and parks where people can enjoy fresh air. Town planners come up with different ideas and plans to make all of these possible.

The population of newly industrialized countries, in particular, is growing day by day. And without proper town planning, people will encounter many problems. For example, traffic, accidents, and disaster risks. Every person must also make an effort to follow the laws and respect all property to make each city a better place.
