Reurbanisation

Reurbanization refers to the movement of people back into an area that has been previously abandoned.[1] Reurbanisation is usually a government's initiative to counter the problem of inner city decline otherwise known as gentrification. Inner-city decline usually occurs when problems such as pollution, overpopulation, inadequate housing, etc. arise.
