reinhabited

Occupied once more

Reinhabited means inhabited again after a period of abandonment or vacancy.

Buildings, neighborhoods, or territories that were once occupied, then empty, become reinhabited when people return or new occupants move in: The old factory district was reinhabited by artists seeking cheap studio space.

The term applies to both literal dwellings and figurative spaces like reclaimed identities or rediscovered traditions.
