Enclosure Renewal is a more precise way to speak of urban renewal. The number of cities in the US that have Developers’ Mobs in firm control of municipal planning and policy is more than likely ALL. These folks use many different forms of active devaluation to drive areas into decline, then "redevelop". Many times they will draw matching funds from "philanthropic" groups or government agencies. If properly done, a modern Enclosure Renewal will dislodge the peasants into the next planned renewal area while gentrifying/rebuilding the first area.

Tetsuo did NeoTokyo’s Developer Yakuza a solid in duplicating the Akira Moment. Most insurance policies don’t pay out for "Acts of God," though.
