Revitalization<br />

Neighborhood Revitalization starts at the<br />

grassroots level — with people in the<br />

community determining the goals for their<br />

neighborhood.<br />

______<br />

It is defined as the process of making<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 />

- Cambridge Dictionaries Online<br />

“Neighborhood Revitalization is the<br />

way of the future and is an essential<br />

element of [our] work. By focusing on<br />

entire neighborhoods, we can greatly<br />

increase our impact.”<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 />
