Urban Renewal Authority

The Urban Renewal Authority (URA) is a government organization responsible for revitalizing and redeveloping aging or run-down urban areas. Its goal is to improve living conditions, boost economic activity, and create a more sustainable urban environment. The URA plans and manages projects that often involve renovating old buildings, developing new infrastructure, and transforming neighborhoods into more functional and attractive spaces. It works collaboratively with communities, developers, and other stakeholders to balance progress with residents' needs, ensuring urban renewal benefits the city’s long-term growth and livability.
