Eminent domain and urban renewal : the ’takings clause’ as instrument of social planning in the case of East Baltimore development initiative

• The report focuses on the different usage pattern of urban property (land and buildings), and in what way city government cooperate and negotiate with property owners to mediate or agree upon new land use pattern to empower community and social resources.With regard to the revitalization project in East Baltimore, the study analyzes the theoretical problem of using “eminent domain” as a legal instrument to reclaim private property, not primarily for city-initiated development projects, but for private housing development and business projects.The report connects to ongoing scholarly debates about urban policy and social research dealing with regeneration and revitalization of blighted and abandoned central urban areas in West European cities.
