master-planned

Comprehensively laid out

Master-planned describes a development designed comprehensively from the start, with coordinated infrastructure, zoning, and amenities.

A master-planned community integrates housing, schools, parks, and commercial areas according to a unified vision rather than piecemeal growth.

The term appears most often in real estate: a master-planned resort, master-planned suburbs.
