Urban renewal, which is generally called urban regeneration ("regeneration" in the United Kingdom), "revitalization" in the United States, is a program of land redevelopment in areas of moderate to high density urban land use.

Renewal has had both successes and failures.

Its modern incarnation began in the late 19th century in developed nations and experienced an intense phase in the late 1940s – under the rubric of reconstruction.

The process has had a major impact on many urban landscapes, and has played an important role in the history and demographics of cities around the world.

Design–build (or design/build, and abbreviated D–B or D/B accordingly) is a project delivery system used in the construction industry.

It is a method to deliver a project in which the design and construction services are contracted by a single entity known as the design–builder or design–build contractor.

In contrast to "design–bid–build" (or "design–tender"), design–build relies on a single point of responsibility contract and is used to minimize risks for the project owner and to reduce the delivery schedule by overlapping the design phase and construction phase of a project.

"DB with its single point responsibility carries the clearest contractual remedies for the clients because the DB contractor will be responsible for all of the work on the project, regardless of the nature of the fault".

Building design refers to the broadly based architectural, engineering and technical applications to the design of buildings.

All building projects require the services of a building designer, typically a licensed architect or structural engineer.

Smaller, less complicated projects often do not require a licensed professional, and the design of such projects is often undertaken by building designers, draftspersons, interior designers (for interior fit-outs or renovations), or contractors.

Larger, more complex building projects require the services of many professionals trained in specialist disciplines, usually coordinated by an architect.

Construction is the process of constructing a building or infrastructure.

Construction differs from manufacturing in that manufacturing typically involves mass production of similar items without a designated purchaser, while construction typically takes place on location for a known client.

Construction as an industry comprises six to nine percent of the gross domestic product of developed countries.
