THE 400 LEVEL URBAN RENEWAL FINAL JURY

INTRODUCTION
Keeble (1969) defines Town Planning as the art and science of ordering the use of
land and siting of buildings and communication routes so as to secure maximum
practicable degree of economy, convenience and beauty. Planning is an aged
practice which is dedicated to sustainable improvement of human life and as well
instilling sustainability of such improvement.
In the subject of urban planning and development, Urban renewal a
comprehensive process aiming at reviving and reshaping metropolitan areas has
gained significant attention. The idea includes a variety of tactics and programs
aimed at resolving problems with urban surroundings like blight, obsolescence,
and degradation. Urban renewal has its roots in the mid-1900 s and arose in
reaction to issues such as deteriorating infrastructure, dense housing, and
declining local economies. Urban renewal is also known as urban regeneration,
rehabilitation, Revitalization in the UK and US respectively.
