Urban Planning and Zoning Law
Urban Planning and Zoning Law is the area of law governing land-use planning, organization, and development, as well as changes to the territory through urban development and construction projects. This area regulates the activities of local authorities and private parties, ensuring that urban development, building construction, and property use strictly comply with municipal master plans and applicable environmental and heritage legislation.
