| Summary: | Urban Renewal Strategy (URS) is a term to denote systems employed
to revitalize, regenerate urban area and cities in general. The basic
mode acceptable worldwide are redevelopment, rehabilitation, revitalization
and reservation. This paper presents each of these mechanisms
in holistic term on one hand and discussion on areas where urban renewal
had taken place in Nigeria which as case studies is presented.
The urban renewal strategy impact on the physical growth namely
building and environmental condition of these areas is also discussed.
Therefore this research is carried out using secondary data obtained
through study and evaluated. The outcome shows that renewal activities
do displace and disrupt original inhabitant of an area and their
economic activity. However, the overall positive impact indicates rapid
growth and development both in the physical, economic structure
which alternatively accentuate physical growth of Nigeria in general. |
