ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Spatial planning

Alright kiddo, let me explain spatial planning to you in a simple way.

Do you know how we organize our things in our room so we know where everything is? Like, we put our toys in the toy box, our clothes in the closet, and our books in the shelf. That's what spatial planning is, but for a whole city or region.

Spatial planning is the way we organize space in different areas to make sure people have what they need. It's like putting different things in different rooms of our homes, but on a much larger scale.

For example, the government might plan out where different places should be built. They might build houses in one area, factories in another, and parks in another. This helps keep the environment organized and allows people to have easy access to the things they need.

Spatial planning also takes into consideration things like safety, the environment, and transportation. It makes sure that streets and neighborhoods are safe and easy to navigate. It also ensures buildings are constructed in a way that is environmentally friendly and helps reduce pollution.

Overall, spatial planning helps create a neat and organized city or region, making it easier for people to live, work, and play.
