Many decades ago "public use" was expanded to include such slum-clearing of property that had been severely neglected. Later "public use" was further expanded to say that if someone had a taken care piece of property among the slums, it too could be taken as part of the project to renovate the whole area.

(Corporations = "artificial" person legally) (And I think "purpose" gives the wiggle room that in building a road the "purpose" is not the profit of the road builder)
