Slum clearance should not redirect to Urban Renewal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.11.204.52 (talk • contribs) 20:56, 26 May 2008

Why not? The article does address slum clearance e.g. in the second paragraph. I'm not sure that a separate article could be written without being a content fork. - Fayenatic (talk) 22:33, 26 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

I suppose it would create a content fork, but its the phrase 'urban renewal' slum clearance and Urban Renewal - they don't seem to equate the same thing.

Removal programs of the favelas flourished once again in the 1970s under the military dictatorship, disguised as a government housing program for the poor. What really happened was that more favelas were eliminated and its residents were displaced to urban territory lacking basic infrastructure.

- taken from the Favela entry

Slum clearance seems alot more like the above, while Urban renewal is somewhat different, wouldn't you say. Apologies for the this mess of a reply, but I hope I have cleared up my point, and look forward to your reply (Synkipate 19:09, 28 May 2008 (UTC))
