Question

why is urban planning important?
a it serves as a common resource where values and experiences are developed and people connect with people outside their homes.
b it ensures that all factors are carefully considered when planning and building a city.
c it ensures that buildings have outdoor spaces to attract people and give them meaning and purpose.
d it ensures the perspective of safety and preservation.

Explanation:

Urban planning is a comprehensive process. Option B is correct because urban planning indeed takes into account various factors like infrastructure, land - use, social needs, environmental impact etc. when planning and building a city. Option A is more about the function of public spaces rather than the essence of urban planning. Option C focuses only on a part (outdoor spaces of buildings) of what urban planning encompasses. Option D is too narrow as safety and preservation are just two aspects among many in urban planning.

Answer:

B. It ensures that all factors are carefully considered when planning and building a city.
