Abstract
Urban Renewal Strategy (URS) is a term to denote systems employed to revitalize, regenerate urban area and cities in general. The basic mode acceptable worldwide are redevelopment, rehabilitation, revitalization and reservation. This paper presents each of these mechanisms in holistic term on one hand and discussion on areas where urban renewal had taken place in Nigeria which as case studies is presented. The urban renewal strategy impact on the physical growth namely building and environmental condition of these areas is also discussed. Therefore this research is carried out using secondary data obtained through study and evaluated. The outcome shows that renewal activities do displace and disrupt original inhabitant of an area and their economic activity. However, the overall positive impact indicates rapid growth and development both in the physical, economic structure which alternatively accentuate physical growth of Nigeria in general.
