Urban Renaissance differs from New Urbanism, but could considered as the British equivalent. The term is used to describe the recent period of repopulation and regeneration of many British cities, including, Bristol, Cardiff, Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester, and parts of London after a period of suburbanisation during the mid-Twentieth Century.
This was achieved through a number of initiative including tax incentives and the lifting of some planning restrictions, as well as positive state intervention encouraging business and residents back into city centre areas.
Large developments such as the London Docklands, funded by the Corporation of London, have helped to encourage people back into the city. Urban Renaissance has also been assisted by gentrification, and has helped to combat Urban Decay.
