A city's distinctive vision for the future is addressed through good urban planning, which addresses urgent demands while also attempting to attain long-term goals. Urban planners guarantee that their effect is valued, desirable, and long-lasting by developing a plan and working toward a holistic goal. They should be aware of both the short- and long-term needs of their community and use evidence from research to inform decisions they make. In general, good urban planning involves considering how people want to use space, what functions should be served by different parts of town, how those functions change over time, what resources are available, and how people get around. Urban planners should also try to understand local culture and history when creating plans for new cities or towns. Finally, they need to be aware of economic factors when deciding on the best ways to organize a city; for example, if they believe that building more highways will make a city more economically viable, they would include studies on the impact such development will have on air quality and climate change before making their recommendation to city officials. Good urban planning can only happen if there is full communication between all parties involved: residents, businesses, government agencies. All voices should be heard, especially those of those who may not have an opportunity to speak up themselves. If you believe that your voice was not included in this process, you can file a complaint with your local government agency or lobby them yourself.
