Scenarios about 'regional planning'
Regional planning refers to the strategic organization and development of land use, infrastructure, and resources across geographic areas larger than individual municipalities but smaller than nations. This field emerged in the early 20th century as governments recognized the need for coordinated approaches to urbanization, economic development, and environmental management. In alternate history scenarios, different approaches to regional planning often dramatically reshape settlement patterns, economic development, and power relationships between urban centers and rural areas.
