ABSTRACT
The present paper investigates sustainable urban development, as mandated by the state’s land-use regulations. It explores the interrelationship among various city sectors based on a guiding plan. Moreover, it delves into the integration of services and facilities across the city and its outskirts. The research analyzes the interactions among these components—whether through attraction, clustering, disintegration, or separation—under the economic determinants that affected the regulation of contemporary land uses. This study underscores the importance of strategically positioning services and installations to enhance connectivity, minimize costs and adhere to deadlines. Yet, due to a past disregard for economic regulatory principles, urban planners have failed to fully grasp the significance of integrating economic strategies into urban planning. This oversight has resulted in the misconception that economic planning takes precedence over urban planning. Urban planning is crucial for the effective execution of development projects, and economic regulations go beyond simple cost assessment, as they are a scientific field focused on maximizing resource allocation for guiding planning choices. This subject was chosen to highlight the importance of both urban planning and economic regulations. The complementarity between these two domains will enable the harmonization of numerous urban development decisions pertaining with the demands of social well-being, thereby facilitating effective planning in response to the continuous evolution of urban growth.
Keywords: Economic determinants, land-use organization, connectivity, urban interconnectedness, urban sectors
