What is a land planner?

A land planner develops blueprints for land development. It’s their job to analyze recently acquired rural and urban land to ensure that all land use plans are safe, efficient, and environmentally-friendly. As a land planner, your duties include creating development proposals, processing zoning permits, and mapping out land use logistics. A land planner works closely with land developers, government officials, and community members. To become a land planner, you need a bachelor’s or master’s degree in environmental or urban planning and work experience working with land developers.
