Urban renewal often failed the poor in inner cities by displacing them from their homes without providing adequate affordable housing alternatives, leading to increased homelessness and community disintegration. Additionally, the focus on aesthetic improvements and commercial development often prioritized the needs of wealthier residents and businesses over the needs of low-income individuals, further marginalizing them from economic opportunities. The lack of community involvement in decision-making processes also contributed to urban renewal projects that did not address the root causes of poverty and inequality.
Urban renewal is the redevelopment of areas within the inner cities. Most urban renewal takes place in larger cities in areas that have been slums.
Urban renewal failed because the people who lived in urban places did not believe in the ideas the government had for them

Interstate highways facilitated suburbanization by providing easy access to urban centers from outlying areas, leading to a decline in population and economic activity in inner cities as people moved to the suburbs. This phenomenon, known as urban sprawl, contributed to the deterioration of inner city neighborhoods and a shift in investment away from urban areas.
Some areas are urban (inner cities such as London, Birmingham, Glasgow etc.). Other areas are rural (Yorkshire dales, The Highlands etc.)
