Who benefits from urban renewal?

Urban renewal is designed to benefit people within the urban renewal area, in surrounding neighborhoods and throughout the city.  The urban renewal plan, which dictates spending of urban renewal dollars in the area, requires public input from residents and must be approved by the City Council.  Everyone benefits from the results of urban renewal, which often include diversified housing choices, job and economic opportunities, better planning, more open space, more efficient traffic patterns, better transportation options, and more enjoyable amenities.
