Revitalization<br />
Neighborhood Revitalization starts at the<br />
grassroots level — with people in the<br />

something grow, develop, or become<br />
successful again (e.g. A new indoor<br />
sports arena has played a key role in the<br />
revitalization of its neighborhood).<br />

“Neighborhood Revitalization is the<br />

Revitalization of Our Inner-Cities Can Transform Our Culture<br />
- by Scruffus<br />
“It is only when the basic needs are met that culture can thrive. Revitalization of our<br />
inner-cities is the innovation that will allow for maximum cultural growth in this country.<br />
Making sure that all Americans have access to opportunity and technology will ensure<br />
future generations of city dwellers do not live in poverty. By investing in these areas,<br />
developers and businesses are investing in the base of this country. Music, art and the<br />
sciences require a healthy, vibrant, and supportive community and the work being done<br />
to rebuild our inner cities is essential to our culture[s] as a whole.”<br />
