Zoning

Zoning is a way for communities to decide where different kinds of buildings should go. Each building in the community has a special purpose like a school, a store, or a house, and when you zone, you make sure that each type of building is in a certain place in the community. For example, you might make sure that all of the houses are on one side of the community, while all of the stores are on another side. This makes it easier and safer for everyone to get to the places they need to go.
