Ex: Regional Planning
Planning process that provides an integrated and coordinating framework for the physical and socioeconomic growth of local government units that comprise a region
The purpose of the regional framework plan is to guide the coordinated, orderly, and harmonious development of the region and to advise the region's local governments in the performance of their functions and duties especially to extrajurisdictional or cross-boundary issues and regional interests and concerns.
Takes into account the planning related concerns that affect inter-municipal, in interprovincial concerns such as watershed management, regional economic growth, physical access (transportation), food security, among others.
Mostly ‘framework’ planning (framework plans are recommendatory and not regulatory, implementation depends on voluntary compliance of local governments that comprise the region)

Regional planning includes the ff: 1. Regional land use planning framework 2. Regional transportation planning 4. Environmental management framework 5. Economic development planning 6. Others (Goals, policies, and guidelines deemed important by the region
Provide a unified and coordinated physical design for the growth and development of the region.
No clear administrative, executive, legislative and regulatory powers at the regional level.

Makes use of popular analytical techniques such as economic base theory, location quotient, hierarchy of urban functions, among others, for regional situational analysis
Smart growth
Smart growth is a development strategy that concentrates growth only in the center of the city. Because growth is clustered in the center, urban sprawl is prevented. The strategy advocates compact,

According to a case study of cities whose development is patterned after smart growth, economy grows faster and quality of life is amplified when this model is used. This is due because it attracts business and

Safe growth/Safe cities
Safe growth is a development scheme that focuses on resisting natural disasters, hazards (natural, health) and crimes, for all residents. Planning for safe cities includes thorough research about possible hazards that endanger lives and its causes e.g fault line near the area ,means higher probability of an earthquake. -a factory belching out smoke is a health hazard.
