city redevelopment
Downtown transformation project
City redevelopment is the process of demolishing, renovating, or repurposing urban areas to improve infrastructure, housing, or economic activity.
The term often carries connotations of displacement—historically, redevelopment projects have razed low-income neighborhoods to make way for highways, commercial districts, or upscale housing: The city redevelopment plan displaced thousands of residents.
Also called urban renewal.
