Urban renewal (also called urban regeneration in British English) is a function of urban planning that in Europe and the United States reached its peak from the late 1940s through to the early 1970s. It has had a massive impact on the urban landscape of many cities and continues to do so in the present day. It has also played an important role in cities worldwide, such as Melbourne, Victoria; Saint John, New Brunswick; Darlinghurst, New South Wales; Glasgow, Scotland; San Francisco, California; and Bilbao, Spain, as well as Canary Wharf, in London, and Cardiff in Wales.
