Urban Renewal Act

The Urban Renewal Act is legislation that authorizes the government to improve cities by revitalizing older or underdeveloped areas. It allows authorities to acquire, redevelop, and sometimes demolish properties to create better infrastructure, housing, and public spaces. The goal is to enhance urban living conditions, encourage economic growth, and prevent urban decay. The process typically involves planning, community consultation, and compensation for property owners affected by redevelopment projects. Overall, it aims to balance development needs with fair treatment for residents and property owners while promoting sustainable urban growth.
