development planning
Future growth mapping
Development planning is the process of creating strategies for growth and improvement, whether for urban areas, organizations, or economies.
Government development planning coordinates infrastructure, housing, and land use: The city's development planning commission approved the new zoning proposal.
In business contexts, it may refer to project roadmaps or employee career development.
The term often implies long-term thinking about how resources will be allocated and goals achieved.
