town plans
Urban development schemes
Town plans are official documents showing the layout and development of a town or city—streets, zones, public spaces, and infrastructure.
Urban planners and local governments create town plans to guide future growth and land use.
The term also refers to maps showing a town's current arrangement: We picked up a town plan at the visitor center.
