The roots of urban planning in the United States are from Western Europe. The Division of plots in cartography into certain measurements tend to use a chess board, especially in the early period of American society, except for tread-the tread pattern that demands another. This caused due to a massive in vans Europeans in particularized Kingdom mainland America during of the age of industrialization.This is clear from the pattern of the city more leads with Grid pattern leads to the concept of a green city. In addition, at the beginning of the planning of any American is already capable of producing a successful program. This is because immigrants have learned from experience industrialization which led to the decline of quality the environment. Planning in the United States since 1945 In the post-war period, United had a system of planning agencies and the size of the complicated planning. The planning agencies work at two different levels: first,the level of national economic development planning/regional; and second, the level of physical development planning regional/local. The issue of economic development of the United States The economic development issues facing America is relative poverty – compared to the standard of world poverty, poor people in America are better perceived the situation – because the American society has its own default. This poverty occurs in two scales: first, second, and regional level local level. The United States economic development tools Until the 1960s, the economic development tool in America conducted by the local government, although the policy of the Central Government. To address the issue of economic development, the Government instituted Administrative bodies such as the regional development (1961) and the economic development Administration (1965) to discuss the problem of unemployment and income.
