Ÿ Re-urbanisation is usually a government initiative to counter the problem of inner city decline.
Ÿ Inner city decline is brought about when problems such as inadequate housing, transport problems, pollution and over-population occur in the city.

urbanization
What is commonly known as white flight?
The term "white flight" was the process by which the population of inner-city urban areas became predominantly African-Americans and other minorities. This resulted from the inability of many cities to raise the revenue necessary for essential services (usually due to growing population and a high poverty index).Suburban areas offered less expensive land and housing, cleaner environments, less crime, and lower taxes. However, it was mostly the white, middle-class residents who had the jobs, income, and education to support relocation, to afford homes and reliable private transportation. As urban areas became less attractive, property values and per capita income fell, further eroding the ability of cities to afford capital expenditures. The vicious circle was only broken in some areas through private investment, which led to redevelopment and reurbanization initiatives.The term of "White flight" was used to describe how white Americans would try to move out of a neighborhood when they believed that too many Afro Americans were moving in. It's seldom heard today. In fact the reverse of this in places like Harlem in New York City has been decried among certain civil rights leaders. To them non whites moving into neighborhoods like Harlem and bringing with them their culture & money does not fit the ideas of certain Black leaders. I emphasize the term of certain.
