Abstract
Chapter I was devoted to the immediate objectives of renewal as reported in response to the questionnaire. The present chapter describes the forms and procedures of renewal. The immediate objectives largely determine, of course, which forms and procedures will be successful. The fundamental immediate objective has been to improve all physical aspects of a district including the streets, street utilities, public buildings, the houses and the rest of the town “fabric”. This objective of comprehensive treatment within a district, therefore, describes the basic “building block” for constructing and operating a renewal program.

Notes
An interesting discussion of this question is in the Report of the Economic Commission for Europe, 1961 Urban Renewal Symposium, U.N. ST/ECE/HOU/4, 1962.
These are old principles,, but neatly summarized in Leo Grebler, op. cit., pp. 111–128.
Often in clearance projects, a few buildings are conserved or rehabilitated.
The number of countries reporting public works activities conducted by district is rather low, except that the re-equipping of cleared areas is, of course, by district. Country reports aggregated by continent indicate that public works are co-ordinated by district about as often in rehabilitation as in conservation.
Apparently this last type of regulation is relatively recent in origin and is used primarily in U.S. cities with advanced renewal programs.

The IFHP Bulletin, 1964, No. 3, mentions Strukturelle Umgestaltung as the German term and restructuration as the French.
