Abstract
In few, if any, countries can clearance and redevelopment occur without a large, many-channelled, and co-ordinated flow of money. Of the three basic forms of renewal, clearance and redevelopment is most clearly dependent upon a set of financial institutions which will facilitate this flow. This chapter compares and contrasts some of the world’s financial systems from the perspective of accomplishing renewal, particularly clearance and redevelopment. We shall seek to discover how financial flows and financial techniques are used to concentrate ownership and capital outlay for a brief period in a small space and then, on completion of the more difficult problems of renewal in the district, how the financial techniques prepare a community to direct its attention to another district needing renewal.
