Urban Renewal Projects

Janice Hayes-Williams was just starting out as an amateur local historian two decades ago when she found out a prominent black man had been deeply disrespected. The grave holding the remains of Smith Price, founder of the first free black community in Maryland's state capital, had been dug up during an urban renewal project in the 1980s.

Senior BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu today said that financial support to states and urban local bodies committed by the Centre was Rs three lakh crore over the next five to six years under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JnNURM) as compared to Rs 36,000 crore during 2005-14.

The government today announced the names of 98 towns and cities chosen for its Smart Cities project after a nationwide "competition" between states.

The BJP-led NDA government is ready to take up pending projects worth Rs 8,000 crore which were initiated under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) during the UPA tenure, Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu said today.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday took a tour of the Cheonggyecheon Stream urban renewal project and praised the vision that converted the once-dirty stream into a modern public recreation space in downtown Seoul.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of "housing for all by 2022" may turn out to be an uphill task with developers keeping off low-cost housing projects citing regulatory hurdles, high land cost and low returns making such projects "unaffordable".
