Urban Blight
Urban blight refers to the deterioration of urban areas due to neglect, economic decline, and social issues. This phenomenon often results in abandoned buildings, vacant lots, and a decline in property values. Factors contributing to urban blight include poverty, crime, and a lack of investment in infrastructure and services.
As neighborhoods experience urban blight, residents may face challenges such as reduced access to education, healthcare, and job opportunities. Efforts to combat urban blight often involve community revitalization projects, government intervention, and partnerships with local organizations to improve living conditions and restore economic vitality.
