Word origin
The term 'redevelopment' originated in the mid-20th century, during a period of rapid urbanization and industrialization. It became increasingly common as cities faced challenges of urban decay and the need to revitalize existing areas. The concept of redevelopment evolved to encompass not only physical rebuilding but also social and economic revitalization. Today, redevelopment plays a crucial role in urban planning and real estate development, aiming to create sustainable and vibrant communities.
