(a) Regional Planning: The planning of a town, a habitation, villages, fort, city or any other variety of group-residences, should take into account its location first—situation and surroundings, climate and soils, vicinity and frontiers. To put it in one word, the Town Planning pre-supposes the planning of the country, the Deśa or more correctly the regional planning—(the deśabhūmis) i. e. surveying the region on which the town is to be planned out.
