city planner
Urban development specialist
A city planner is a professional who designs and organizes urban development—determining where buildings, roads, parks, and public services should go.
City planners balance competing needs: housing density, traffic flow, green space, commercial zones, and community character.
The city planner recommended rezoning the industrial area for mixed-use development.
