Frequently, however, urbanblight is used in specific reference to the properties of which a city is comprised and their abandonment.
Urbanblight is transmitted through vicious circles in which urban decay leads to social changes (in behavior, the economic base, etc.) which then result in further decay.
They may, however, make a valid contribution to efforts to redress urbanblight, and may have a particularly important role to play in encouraging community pride and the sense that other schemes to redress abandonment are being undertaken in conjunction with the efforts of local residents and not simply by autonomous and anonymous local authorities.
