According to Dr. Mindy Fullilove in her book Urban Alchemy (2013), the nine elements of urban restoration are:
- keep the whole city in mind
- find what you’re for
- make a mark
- unpuzzle the fractured space
- unslum all neighborhoods
- create meaningful places
- strengthen the region
- show solidarity with all life
- celebrate your accomplishments. (Fullilove, 2013, 34-39)
