Arabic term or phrase: أعمال التنظيم داخل المدن
The phrase comes from an Egyptian law on expropriation of land for public utility.
Part of the law refers to provisions in the case of أعمال التنظيم داخل المدن
These projects may include street widening, enlarging squares, etc. within a town. I am just wondering about the best way of rendering this in English.

English translation:urban improvement/redevelopment projects
Explanation:
This might work. I considered 'development' which is not wrong, but could suggest an enlargement of the existing urban area. You might be able to do something with 'enhancement' or 'renewal' too!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you Thomas and Fuad. I am hesitant about "development" because many developments are not for public benefit but private housing. I am thinking of "urban restructuring". Perhaps improvement is good too, but تحسين is used explicitly elsewhere but not here, though the works must surely be an improvement else they would not be done!
