"Municipal engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with the operation and problems (as laying out additions and parks, and constructing and maintaining sewer systems, waterworks, and pavements) peculiar to urban life."
If I am the municipal engineer and the local government is planning to convert our town's rice fields into an industrial park, first, I would do more research and studies about our place especially concerning the livelihood of the people living in it.
I will do my best to organize industrial projects but at the same time protect the environment, agriculture and its people.
If the studies shows, our agriculture land cannot be vanished, I will disagree. I will find new areas and propose new industrial projects.
Otherwise, if the studies shows the agriculture land is not helping its people anymore and they are deteriorating then I will agree and push through the project.
