Urban renewal programs

Urban renewal programs involve efforts by governments or organizations to improve and revitalize areas within cities that may be declining or deteriorating. These initiatives often include renovating buildings, improving infrastructure, and creating new public spaces to attract residents, businesses, and investment. The goal is to enhance the area's economic vitality, safety, and overall quality of life. While beneficial, these projects can sometimes lead to displacement of existing residents or businesses if not managed carefully. Overall, urban renewal aims to transform neglected neighborhoods into more livable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing environments.
