-
- Urban revitalization is hailed by many as a solution to the problems of urban decline by, as the term suggests, revitalizing decaying urban areas.
- Urban revitalization is closely related to processes of urban renewal, or programs of land redevelopment in areas of moderate- to high-density urban land use.
- Title I of the Housing Act of 1949 kick-started the urban renewal program that would reshape American cities.
- Urban renewal can have many positive effects.

- But what causes urban decay?
- In some ways, urban decline is an inevitable result of urbanity itself.
- Economic decline tends to lead to urban decline.
- The current response to urban decay has been positive public policy and urban design using the principles of New Urbanism.
- Louis were built under a policy of urban renewal intended to provide affordable housing, but soon turned into a site of urban blight.
-
- Renewed business attracts more investment capital and new residents, increasing local property values.
- To meet the demand, urban areas had to be "recycled," or gentrified.
- These policies enabled black families to move out of urban centers and into the suburbs, thus decreasing the availability of suburban land, while integrationist policies encouraged white movement into traditionally black urban areas.
- It may be the result of fluctuating relationships between capital investments and the production of urban space.

- Simmel argues that urban life irreversibly transforms one's mind.
- The first set asks how social interactions are shaped by urban environments and how social interactions in urban environments are distinct from social interactions in other contexts.
- These are the types of questions asked by Simmel and urban anthropologists.
- This changes one's orientation to the urban community.
-
- Urban sociology is the study of social life and interactions in urban areas, using methods ranging from statistical analysis to ethnography.
- This is one of the earliest examples of a subcultural study that explained the organization of urban subgroups as opposed to strictly highlighting the disorganization that accompanied urbanization.
- Urban ecology refers to an idea that emerged out of the Chicago School that likens urban organization to biological organisms.
- Urban ecology has remained an influential theory in both urban sociology and urban anthropology over time.
- Explain urbanization in terms of functionalism and what the Chicago School understood to be some of the causes of urban social problems at that time

- Urbanization is the physical growth of urban areas as a result of global change.Urbanization is also defined by the United Nations as movement of people from rural to urban areas with population growth equating to urban migration.The United Nations projected that half of the world's population would live in urban areas at the end of 2008.Urbanization is closely linked to modernization, industrialization, and the sociological process of rationalization.
- Percentage of population which is urbanized, by country, as of 2005.As more and more people leave villages and farms to live in cities, urban growth results.The rapid growth of cities like Chicago in the late 19th century and Mumbai a century later can be attributed largely to rural-urban migration and the demographic transition.This kind of growth is especially commonplace in developing countries.
- The United States and United Kingdom have a far higher urbanization level than China, India, Swaziland or Niger, but a far slower annual urbanization rate, since much less of the population is living in a rural area.
- Urbanization can be planned or organic.Planned urbanization, (e.g., planned communities), is based on an advanced plan, which can be prepared for military, aesthetic, economic or urban design reasons.Organic urbanization is not organized and happens haphazardly.Landscape planners are responsible for landscape infrastructure (e.g., public parks, sustainable urban drainage systems, greenways, etc.) which can be planned before urbanization takes place, or afterward to revitalize an area and create greater livability within a region.Planned urbanization and development is the aim of the American Institute of Planners.
- Percentage of population which is urbanized, by country, as of 2005.

- Sudden and extreme relocation out of urban areas into the suburbs is one of the many causes of urban sprawl, as suburbs grow to accommodate the increasingly large population.
- Push factors are those that push people out of their original homes in urban areas into suburban areas.
- This movement is thought to have exacerbated urban decline in cities.
- As a result of the mass residential migration out of urban centers, many industries have followed suit.
