A masterplan is a long-term planning document that shows a conceptual layout to guide future growth and development of an area. Master planning is about making the connection between buildings, social settings, and their surrounding environments. A master plan includes analysis, recommendations, and proposals for a site’s population, economy, housing, transportation, community facilities, and land use. It is based on public input, surveys, planning initiatives, existing development, physical characteristics, and social and economic conditions. The changes are normally long-term and can be altered based on changing conditions over time.
