The land use plan evolves out of the analytical phase. In Figure, there are three inter-related aspects, lamely programme analysis, site analysis and use plan. The programme analysis will show the activities, linkages densities (in Town Planning, "density" means of built-up units per unit area) of a particular project. The site analysis aspect has been discussed above. The land use plan indicates, how the programme requirements are accommodated on the given site optionally. In concrete terms, the land use plan thus, integrates the project (which consists of buildings, movement of people, goods, water, communication networks etc.) within the site.

The type of construction will also influence the land use plan. If a plan is not economically feasible because of excessive site work, an alternative may be necessary. On the other hand, the type of construction may be a major factor in determining a particular land use and may require a specific type of site which is flat, rolling or hilly.
Circulation systems are the nerves which connect all the elements on the site. Besides vehicular and pedestrian circulation systems, the site also requires utility and communication networks. After the over-all importance of circulation is examined, patterns and criteria of arrangement and development should be pursued. Figure shows a typical project site with elements of circulation.
Vehicular circulation pattern can be classified as grid, radial, linear, rectilinear systems and variation combinations 01 these. Similarly, the parking system should be planned. Provision should be made of pedestrian circulation including the provision of steps and stairs.
