The City of Cincinnati is one of many older industrial cities seeking to reclaim vacant and abandoned properties left behind by deindustrialization, residential migration to the suburbs, and the recent foreclosure crisis. The properties left behind can spur a cycle of blight, crime, and decreased property values - all of which strain city resources and create unsafe, unwelcoming neighborhoods. Numerous programs have been developed to address these issues, one of which is the urban land bank. This thesis takes a critical look at Cincinnati's land bank, the Cincinnati Land Reutilization Program, and considers how effectively it is working to bring these vacant and abandoned properties back to productive use. This assessment is done through a review of the program's adherence to national best practices, and a neighborhood level analysis of the actual and potential impact of the program on Cincinnati neighborhoods.
