The term town planning is also often interchangeable with the below specialisations:

Urban Planning - Inner city and suburban planning. Typically deals with medium and high-density housing and mixed-use developments.

Peri-Urban Planning - A mix between urban and rural planning. Usually occurs on the urban fringe.

Rural Planning – Planning for agricultural land use and land fragmentation in rural areas.

Coastal Planning - Typically deals with planning in coastal areas and accounts for additional factors such as rising sea levels.
