| - | A '''race riot''' or '''racial riot''' is a violent civil disorder (''i.e.'' a [[riot]]) in which [[race]] is a key factor. The term had entered the [[English language]] in the [[United States]] by the 1890s. Early use of the term in the United States referred to race riots which were often a [[dominant culture]] [[mob action]] against individuals or groups of people from other races. Much later, the term came to describe violence and property destruction by racial minority groups often directed at neighborhood business, government representatives and law enforcement agencies perceived as unfairly targeting racial groups. [[Ochlocracy|Mob rule]], [[religious intolerance]], [[vigilantism]], [[Jim Crow laws|Jim Crow]], [[lynching]], [[racial profiling]], [[economics]], [[police brutality]], [[institutional racism]], [[urban renewal]], and racial [[identity politics]] are often cited as causes of these riots. However, political decisions, repression and social hate by national or local levels of government and the larger community directed towards a certain race usually contributes to this type of riot. | + | |
| + | '''Urban renewal''' 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 (architecture)|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. | ||

Urban renewal 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.
