The Urban Renewal Bill promises faster redevelopment of ageing and unsafe buildings by lowering the consent threshold for property owners. Supporters say it’s a much-needed catalyst for urban regeneration, while critics warn it could open the door to abuse, displacement, and gentrification. Theebalakshmi Kunasekaran of the Khazanah Research Institute discusses the implications of the URA.
