[edit] Urban Renaissance

This article should reflect a larger geographical area than just focusing on Copper Square. The Phoenix city government has described such boundaries for major redevelopment projects in its City of Phoenix Consolidated Plan for 2000-2005 [1]:

"The Downtown Redevelopment Area project boundaries extend from 7th Avenue to 7th Street; and from McDowell Road to the railroad properties north of Lincoln Road. The Downtown area contains approximately 11/2 square miles." [2]

The article, as of this writing, has been flagged as needing clean-up (removed flag because there was no specific mention of what needed work; besides, I'm on it), unverified claims and not citing sources. Much of the information in the article deserves this criticism. The topic of Copper Square might deserve its own article.
The article would also benefit from work to help reflect this redevelopment that is taking place downtown. With the art walk and arts district, shopping and some of the best food and drink to be had in the valley, there is a great deal of content left untouched. Some PD images might be found here. azwaldo 17:21, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
