inner city complex


Explanation:
domyślam się, że chodzi o zespoły budynków/zabudowy
ewentualnie można napisać inner city development, tyle że to już bardziej będzie miało nutkę "zabudowy" w sobie; a może całkiem inner city development complex, trochę może za dużo, ale bardziej zrozumiale

disagree  PanPeter: The term inner city has been used, especially in the US, as a euphemism for lower-income residential districts,

neutral  Michael Grabczan-Grabowski: I agree with PanPeter80. It has negative connotations, and sounds like it would be a study of poor neighbourhoods in the centre of the city.

neutral  Michael Grabczan-Grabowski: I'm not too sure about the use of the term "complex," as this usually refers to a relatively small collection of buildings connected together, such as a gated residential complex developed by a private developer or a university complex.

Urban Revitalization refers to a set of initiatives aimed at reorganizing an existing city structure, particularly in neighborhoods in decline due to economic or social reasons. Urban revitalization initiatives generally include improving features of the urban environment, such as the quality of pavement and the functionality of the sidewalks. Depending on the intended usage of the revitalized neighborhood, the projects can also address the need for improved community engagement and occupation of the public spaces, providing new entertainment facilities like parks and museums. In several initiatives, projects aim to prepare parts of the city to fulfill a desired economic function by adjusting the utilities network to specific requirements. - https://pppknowledgelab.org/sectors/urban-revitalization

neutral  Michael Grabczan-Grabowski: A city center can encompass various neighbourhoods (dzielnice), like in my city, Calgary, where you get "Downtown", "Downtown West End", etc. The formal study of the design of central areas should be "Central City Development" or "City Center Development"

central city development


Explanation:
When it comes to the study of designing central urban zones, an appropriate translation would be "central city development".

See the following scholarly article that was translated from Polish into English:

https://usos.prz.edu.pl/kontroler.php?_action=actionx:katalo...

https://usos.prz.edu.pl/kontroler.php?_action=actionx:katalo...

Other alternatives could be "central urban zones" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed-use_development).
