Where displaced individuals are also subjected to dignitary harms, the government only fulfills its obligation to provide just compensation through the process of dignity restoration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To illustrate the need for a broader understanding of just compensation, this Note turns to America\u2019s long history of blight condemnations and urban renewal. Part I provides an overview of relevant Takings Clause jurisprudence and contextualizes our understanding of just compensation in relation to the ever-evolving public use doctrine. It then examines existing criticisms of the fair market value standard, before situating dignity as a value inherent within those criticisms and as a constitutional value already recognized by the courts. Building on that background, Part II applies Professor Bernadette&nbsp;Atuahene\u2019s \u201cdignity takings\u201d thesis to urban renewal and urban displacement, exposing the dire need to broaden the meaning of just compensation. It then argues that government actors are constitutionally obligated to support neighborhood-based initiatives aimed at restoring dignity to the communities traditionally uprooted by urban redevelopment and proposes several ways that the government can fulfill this obligation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>To read more, click here: <a href=\"https:\/\/live-cornell-law-review.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Hasbrouck-note-final-2.pdf\">Rethinking &#8220;Just&#8221; Compensation: Dignity Restoration as a Basis for Supplementing Existing Takings Remedies with Government-Supported Community Building Initiatives<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"speaker-mute footnotes_reference_container\"> <div class=\"footnote_container_prepare\"><p><span role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"footnote_reference_container_label pointer\" onclick=\"footnote_expand_collapse_reference_container_333_1();\">References<\/span><span role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"footnote_reference_container_collapse_button\" style=\"display: none;\" onclick=\"footnote_expand_collapse_reference_container_333_1();\">[<a id=\"footnote_reference_container_collapse_button_333_1\">+<\/a>]<\/span><\/p><\/div> <div id=\"footnote_references_container_333_1\" style=\"\"><table class=\"footnotes_table footnote-reference-container\"><caption class=\"accessibility\">References<\/caption> <tbody> \r\n\r\n<tr class=\"footnotes_plugin_reference_row\"> <th scope=\"row\" class=\"footnote_plugin_index_combi pointer\"  onclick=\"footnote_moveToAnchor_333_1('footnote_plugin_tooltip_333_1_1');\"><a id=\"footnote_plugin_reference_333_1_1\" class=\"footnote_backlink\"><span class=\"footnote_index_arrow\">&#8593;<\/span>1<\/a><\/th> <td class=\"footnote_plugin_text\">Cliff Albright, <em>Gentrification Is Sweeping Through America.
