Here are entered works on planned new municipalities. Works on new urban entities consisting of a combination of residential, commercial, social, educational, and/or recreational areas, incorporated or unincorporated, but of smaller scope than municipalities are entered under Planned communities. Works on land development projects which have been zoned to allow flexibility in building siting and multiple land use are entered under Planned unit developments.
