Types of built development
Development, in terms of land, property or real estate, is a complex process of coordinating various activities to transform ideas and plans into physical reality. As a business process, it involves the financing, construction, renovation or refurbishment of buildings and land, generally in order to make a profit.
Developments may be categorised by the nature of the developer, the type of property developed, the method of financing, the end use of the development and so on.
