Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments.
Regional planning deals with the efficient placement of land-use activities, infrastructure, and settlement growth across a larger area of land than an individual city or town.
Regional planning is related to urban planning as it relates to land-use practices on a broader scale.
