| Abstract from DBPedia | Urban renewal (also called urban regeneration in the United Kingdom and urban redevelopment in the United States) is a program of land redevelopment often used to address urban decay in cities. Urban renewal involves the clearing out of blighted areas in inner cities to clear out slums and create opportunities for higher class housing, businesses, and other developments. A primary purpose of urban renewal is to restore economic viability to a given area by attracting external private and public investment and by encouraging business start-ups and survival. It is controversial for its eventual displacement and destabilization of low-income residents, including African Americans and other marginalized groups.都市再開発（としさいかいはつ、英語: Urban redevelopment）とは、既存の市街地を再整備すること。単に「再開発」とも呼ばれる。防災対策としての古い密集市街地の再整備や、工場など企業用地移転などに伴う跡地の開発なども含まれる。鉄道駅周辺の都市再開発は「駅前再開発」と呼ばれる 英語にはアーバン・リニューアル (Urban renewal) という概念があり、日本語では都市更新（としこうしん）と訳される。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Urban_renewal) |
