Planificada

Planificada is the feminine singular past participle of the Spanish verb planificar, meaning to plan. As an adjective, planificada describes something that has been planned or arranged in advance. It agrees in gender and number with feminine nouns (for example, una ciudad planificada, una solución planificada). The masculine counterpart is planificado, and in plural forms the adjectives are planificadas and planificados.

In common usage, planificada appears across contexts such as urban planning, economics, and project management. In urban planning, a ciudad planificada or barrio planificado refers to an area designed according to a formal plan or master plan. In economics and public policy, the phrase economía planificada denotes a planned economy in which production and resource allocation are directed by a central authority. Related terms include planificación, the process of planning; planificador, the planner.

Etymology: planificada derives from planificar with the feminine suffix -ada used to form adjectives from verbs, indicating a completed or resulting state. The term is employed in many Spanish-speaking countries, though regional preferences and collocations can vary.

Note: planificada is not a standalone noun in Spanish; it functions as an adjective (and as part of compound noun phrases) rather than a noun by itself.
