At best, we could envision some dystopian future wherein mostly abandoned neighborhoods in places like Detroit are reclaimed en masse, ownership rights of the natives disregarded (queue claims of Eminent Domain), and then the area is opened up for re-enclosure, but I see that as unlikely because (I like to think, at least) we're done with the whole "rights of the natives disregarded" thing.This wikipedia article focuses on enclosure in what we now know as the UK, but the phenomenon happened at some point in the history of most countries.
