Relatively large-scale redevelopment of urban areas, rather than piecemeal rebuilding of individual buildings or the provision of specific facilities. Its objectives include: improvements to the urban environment and infrastructure by the provision of more open space, community and other facilities; enhancements to urban layouts, road networks and other infrastructure; the substitution or overhaul of archaic buildings; better exploitation of land; thinning out of development and population densities to reduce the strain on over-burdened transport and other infrastructure; making land accessible to meet various uses such as housing, and redeveloping a particular area in order to act as a catalyst for the redevelopment of neighbouring areas by private developers, as enhanced property values make this more viable. |
