Preferred term

urban redevelopment  

Definition

  • Urban redevelopment (like the comparable term urban regeneration in the United Kingdom) generally refers to large-scale efforts to upgrade an area in the urban core, commonly with public support. Such public efforts have been prevalent in U.S. cities since the end of World War II, as declines in population and employment have left many central cities (and more recently, some suburbs) struggling to retain their economic vitality and tax base.
