social planning
Coordinating public welfare
Social planning is the organized effort to shape a community's or society's future development—addressing housing, transportation, public services, and resources through coordinated policy rather than market forces alone.
The term also refers to arranging one's calendar of social engagements: With three parties this weekend, my social planning is out of control.
