Talking about a real estate project to "redensificar el centro de la ciudad, colaborando a resolver la falta de suelo urbanizable que hoy sufre el municipio ..." I really don't want to go with "redensify"; would anybody vote for "repopulate" perhaps?

My only concern re "repopulate" is that it is a little general, so it may be a good idea to change the sentence a little, e.g. "reclaim the city centre for residential housing" or "redefine the city centre using residential criteria".
