Restricting development

Description

Restricting development involves implementing policies and regulations to limit or control economic, industrial, or urban growth in specific areas. This strategy aims to prevent environmental degradation, protect natural resources, preserve cultural heritage, and maintain community well-being. Practical actions include zoning laws, development moratoriums, and environmental impact assessments, serving as remedies to unchecked expansion, habitat loss, and overuse of local infrastructure, thereby ensuring sustainable and balanced regional development.
