Development
Development is the process of improvement (social, economic, cultural, political) to meet the needs in people’s lives at all levels (personal, local, national, international).
People can influence development through the democractic process. For example residents could lobby their councillors if they did not want planning permission to be given for a new shopping centre.
Development can be complex and controversial with different people sometimes wanting different results.
