The document differentiates between various types of planning: Site Development Planning (SDP) focuses on specific sites, Physical Planning addresses larger areas like towns and cities, Master Planning provides long-term visions for urban growth, and Comprehensive Development Plans (CDP) integrate multiple planning aspects for overall community development. Additionally, it contrasts Urban Planning, which manages city growth and structure, with Urban Design, which emphasizes the aesthetic and experiential aspects of public spaces. Each type of planning plays a distinct role in shaping functional, sustainable, and livable environments.

DIFFERENTIATE SDP PLANNING, PHYSICAL PLANNING, MASTER


PLANNING, AND COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

Site Development Planning (SDP) is the most detailed and specific type of planning. It
focuses on a particular site or property such as a residential subdivision, school
campus, or shopping complex. SDP shows the exact layout of the site, including where
the buildings, roads, sidewalks, open spaces, parking areas, drainage systems, and
utilities will be placed. It’s used when you are already moving forward with a project and
need a concrete plan to guide construction. In simple terms, SDP is like the "blueprint"
for developing a specific plot of land.

Physical Planning, on the other hand, deals with larger areas like towns, cities, or
regions. It looks at how land should be organized and used. This includes deciding
where housing areas should be located, where commercial zones will go, where parks
are needed, and how transportation systems and public services will connect
everything. Physical planning helps prevent problems like traffic congestion,
overcrowding, or poor access to services. It's more about organizing the space to make
cities and towns more functional, efficient, and livable.

Master Planning is broader and more long-term. It provides a big-picture vision for how
a town or city should grow and develop over the next 10, 20, or even 30 years. It
includes land use plans, zoning, transportation networks, housing strategies,
environmental protection, and public facilities. A master plan serves as a guide for city
governments and planners to make decisions about future development. For example, it
might help a city decide where to build a new highway, how to expand housing, or
where to protect green spaces.

Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) is the most inclusive type of plan. It


combines physical planning with social, economic, environmental, and institutional
planning. The CDP looks at the overall development of a city or municipality, not just in
terms of land use, but also in improving the lives of people. It includes strategies for
creating jobs, reducing poverty, improving healthcare and education, managing natural
resources, and building infrastructure. CDPs are typically used by local governments as
a roadmap for growth and development over a 6-year period. They are especially
common in the Philippines, where local governments are required to prepare CDPs to
guide their programs and budgets.

2. DIFFERENTIATE URBAN DESIGN AND URBAN PLANNING.

Urban Planning is about managing and guiding the growth of cities and towns. It
focuses on the overall structure and function of a place where people will live, work, and
move around. Planners look at big-picture issues like land use (residential, commercial,
industrial), transportation systems, zoning laws, public services, and environmental
protection. The goal of urban planning is to create organized, balanced, and sustainable
cities that meet the needs of their populations. It’s more policy- and strategy-driven, and
decisions are often made for long-term impact.

Urban Design, in contrast, is more focused on the look, feel, and experience of the city.
It deals with the design of streets, parks, buildings, plazas, and public spaces, how they
look and how people interact with them. Urban designers think about how to make
spaces more walkable, welcoming, safe, and beautiful. While urban planning might
decide where a park should be, urban design decides what that park will look like,
including benches, pathways, lighting, trees, and how it connects to nearby streets or
buildings.
