Urban renewal planning entails the government's displacement of impoverished inner-city regions in order to make way for opportunities for the construction of upscale residences, commercial buildings, and other developments. The purpose of the study is to ascertain whether urban renewal planning can be used as a means for reducing pollution in the Southern Senatorial District of Cross River State, Nigeria. Descriptive survey design was used in the study. For the purpose of acquiring data, primary and secondary sources were utilized. The questionnaire served as the data gathering tool. Respondents from the randomized population of 498 were selected using the purposive sampling technique. Taro Yamane Formua was used to determine the sample size of 222. Simple linear regression statistical tool was used in conjunction with SPSS to generate and test a single hypothesis. It was concluded that the implementation of urban regeneration initiatives will enhance the quality of transportation, water supply, and waste disposal systems. Residents of the city would thus resemble their own location of residence in general. One important suggestion made by Gbedegesin et al., (2019) was that successful urban revitalization programs require public-private collaboration.
