Urban Development Corporations (UDCs)

Urban Development Corporations (UDCs) are public or semi-public bodies established by government to regenerate and revitalize specific urban areas. They focus on transforming neglected or underdeveloped neighborhoods into vibrant, economically viable communities by improving infrastructure, housing, and public spaces. UDCs have the authority to acquire land, plan development projects, and coordinate resources more efficiently than standard local authorities. Their goal is to promote sustainable growth, attract investment, and enhance the quality of urban life, often in areas facing economic decline or environmental challenges.
