The greatest percentage of the developed area of an urban
community will be devoted to residential use. Even in rural areas, much of the
land is now used for residence as a result of the continuing movement of
people out of the built-up villages and cities into the more open areas in the
towns.
In determining how much of the community’s area should be set
aside for existing and future residential use, it’s highly desirable to make a
comprehensive community study.
