GIS can be used for geospatial mapping (clustering, distribution pattern, etc.), spatial regression modelling to relate with other sociodemographic variables. Overlay analysis with other spatial layers including crime rate, health coverage (immunization coverage, IMR, MMR, etc.), accessibility measures (school, health facilities, parks, etc.).

Urban planning involves many functions, scales, sectors, and stages. The functions of urban planning can generally be classified into general administration, development control, plan making, and strategic planning. While the General administration and development control are relatively routine planning activities, plan making and non-routine strategic planning are undertaken much less frequently.

The scale of the planning area covered can range from a whole city to a sub-region of a city, a district, or a street block. The most frequently involved sectors of urban planning include land use, transport, housing, land development, and environment. Each scale of planning involves different stages: the determination of planning objectives; the analysis of existing situations modeling and projection; development of planning options; selection of planning options; plan implementation; and plan evaluation, monitoring, and feedback. The different functions, scales, sectors, and stages of urban planning make different uses

Thanks a lot

GIS is a very sophisticated tool which can handle data in a very impressive manner. you could analyze your data more comprehensively by implementing spatial analysis toolsets such as hotspot analysis, spatial autocorrelation and high-low clustier analysis etc.
