Crossword Genius

Capital for redevelopment is large (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

algiers

'capital' is the definition.
(Algiers is an example)

'redevelopment is large' is the wordplay.
'redevelopment' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'is'+'large'='islarge'
'islarge' is an anagram of 'ALGIERS'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for algiers that I've seen before include "Capital city" , "North African capital" , "North African port" , "N. African port" , "NW African capital" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
