Urbanism

Urbanism is the way cities are designed and how people live in them. It’s how roads, buildings, parks, and other pieces of the city fit together to make life better for the people who live there. Urbanism looks at how people want to live in cities to decide what kinds of stuff should go in it. For example, urbanism can look at how easy it is for people to walk to the store, school, or work. It can also look at how to make things like homes and buildings with the environment in mind. Urbanism looks at the impacts for people, the environment, and how we shape are cities.
