Explanation:
This is another option. I think using "structure" for بافت is more appropriate here.

Edward Plaisance Jr: "worn-out" before "urban" is preferred. "texture" is much broader and conveys more the "feeling" "appearance" "sense" "image" of a place. I Googled "urban texture" and 99% were photo collections.

Reconstruction of the slums (run-down parts) of the city

Explanation:
Reconstruction of the slums (run-down parts) of the city
A slum is a run-down area of a city. The term has traditionally referred to housing areas that were once respectable but which deteriorated as the original dwellers moved on to newer and better parts of the city, but has come to include the vast informal settlements found in cities in the developing world.

Reference information:
Thanks to Edward for the comment but, I THINK in this case this is the matter of renovation of the urban texture not the structures per se. you are right texture has got a boraoder sense, it is used in this manner especially for reconstruction of cities massed up without any prior city palnning such as Tehran, the city is like a mashed up bump. this sort of projects are done to make it more like a city, as the case maybe and /or improve one.

and another purpose is to improve seismic vulnerability as well off course.

Example sentence(s):

In accordance with this consideration a urban texture definition can be given as the geometrical structure formed by the spatial distribution of urban elements as buildings, roads and green areas.

Reference: Urban Texture Analysis

Reference information:
In looking at the links provided by Saeid, it is clear that the "texture" in question is what we see in satellite photos of surface areas. It is a result of whatever is on the ground, not necessarily only buildings. I don't see how this texture can be "renovated" without changing something on the ground.
