urban development
'Stadtentwicklung' and 'Stadtplanung' both have to do with how a city changes and is shaped. 'Stadtentwicklung' refers more to the overall process: a city or district changes spatially, socially, culturally, or economically. 'Stadtplanung' refers more strongly to professional planning and management by offices, experts, or rules. The words can be confused because planning is an important part of development.
