Abstract

Urban renewal is a dynamic and essential process aimed at revitalizing aging and deteriorated urban areas through building renovation, the creation of new public spaces, and the enhancement of public services. This study seeks to ensure that urban environments remain vibrant and functional, providing residents with a high quality of life through well-designed renewal initiatives.When implemented through a comprehensive approach that integrates economic and environmental sustainability in service of social goals and human needs, urban renewal can significantly enhance quality of life while preserving the distinctive character of urban areas.This paper adopts a holistic perspective that reconfigures the dimensions of sustainability to prioritize the social dimension, integrating economic and environmental considerations to serve inclusive development. Through a theoretical and analytical study grounded in successful global experiences, the paper identifies key strategies and conceptual approaches for achieving socially sustainable urban renewal, while safeguarding urban identity and promoting social justice.
