Whether it’s city, town, rural, or village, urban planners can improve the quality of life within these spaces. If a space, such as a city or town, is well-planned, this means that its socioeconomic benefits are available to all living within that space. This can be accomplished through controlling the way resources are used in the space, keeping levels of pollution low, and making sure that transport systems are operating at a high efficiency. The livability index of cities can be increased through good urban planning that improves the quality of life.
