What

The mission of the Urban Revitalization Council (URC) is to explore the best practices for redevelopment and revitalization of city centers, older neighborhoods and districts, and other core urban areas. This includes a focus on urban planning, infrastructure development, architecture, street and civic space design, real estate development, historic preservation and adaptive reuse, economic development, social equity and community engagement. URC actively uses the venue for each Council meeting as a case study relating to our areas of focus, meeting with local professionals, visiting local projects and engaging with local community members whenever possible.

The Council provides it members with an engaging forum to discuss current trends and key issues impacting urban revitalization and encourages members to contribute to the national and global discussion and literature on the topic.
