Blight is a "condition of property or the uses of property in parts of a city, town, or neighborhood that are detrimental to the physical, social, and/or economic well-being of a community. It can include abandoned buildings or those severely neglected by their owners, vacant lots full of rubble and waste, or dangerous and/or illegal uses such as crack houses." [1]
The concept of blight has often been used as a justification for urban renewal projects.
