Environment

Towns should be designed in such a way that the environmental factors are taken into consideration. People should be able to carry on with their daily activities without much effort. The problems evolved with the rise in tiresome travel to work, long hours of work, limited time spent within the community etc. These mal-adjustments have tended to destroy the vitality of urban living and the town planning is mainly concerned with bringing about a better relation between man and his environment.

Health

Health of the citizens should never be compromised. This can be achieved by proper use of land by dividing the land into zones such as residential, commercial, industrial, recreational etc. Dividing the land into different zones prevents encroachment of one zone upon the smooth and promotes orderly development of the town in future.
