CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

Land management can be defined as the process of managing the use and development (in both urban and suburban settings) of land resources in a sustainable way. Land resources are used for a variety of purposes which interact and may compete with one another; therefore, it is desirable to plan and manage all uses in an integrated manner

Urban planning is concerned with the ordering and design of settlements, from the smallest towns to the world’s largest cities. Shown here is Hong Kong’s CBD.

Landscape, urban, city, and town planning are the disciplines of land use planning that explore a very wide range of aspects of the built and social environments of urbanized municipalities and communities. Other professions deal in more detail with a smaller scale of development, namely architecture, landscape architecture and urban design. Regional planning deals with a still larger environment, at a less detailed level.

Another key role of urban planning is urban renewal, and re-generation of inner cities by adapting urban planning methods to existing cities suffering from long-term infrastructural decay

Enugu State Ministry of Land ensures that
