Negligence of former industrial sites (―brownfields‖) has adversely impacted urban landscapes throughout the industrialized world. Brownfield redevelopment has recently emerged as a sustainable land use strategy and impetus for urban revitalization. This study presents a system dynamics model of the redevelopment process that illustrates how delays compound before realizing financial benefits f...

Brownfields have been the subject of research, evaluation, categorization and, course, redevelopment for many years. The ABC(D) model (an assessment tool to identify different types sites in terms their potential) by Concerted Action on Brownfield and Economic Regeneration Network (CABERNET) has mentioned publications. aim method presented this article is use basic essence categories our own ve...

Brownfields sometimes represent a development problem but at the same time also hold potential. With accurate and up-to-date information it is possible to assure regeneration process effective; therefore we investigated in detail of brownfields management two countries: Slovenia Czech Republic (the Moravian-Silesian Region). The article compares databases data itself both selected case studies,...

Economic, social and environmental sustainability are becoming more important in urban territorial development policies Europe internationally. Recently, the United States have put forth green deals proposing programmatic provisions for achieving through redevelopment of brownfield land into Sustainable Industrial Areas (SIAs). This opinion paper presents benefits European Green Deal (EGD) as s...

Concepts deriving from criminology, housing policy, and environmental psychology are integrated to test two ways that housing conditions could relate to crime in a declining first-ring suburb of Salt Lake City. For existing housing, we use a model to test whether housing incivilities, such as litter and unkempt lawns, are associated with later crime. For new housing, we test whether a new subdi...

Brownfield redevelopment has gained support in the U.S. as an essential ingredient of urban revitalization. Assessing the effects of such projects is important as government budgets tighten recently. Through multi-scale spatial and statistical analysis, this study shows the spatial patterns of residential property values and their changes, and investigates linkages to the presence of different ...

The paper advances a conceptualization of sustainability in urban regeneration as communicative practice taking place within networks of social actors. To demonstrate the potential of this perspective, we propose an interdisciplinary methodology integrating social network analysis from sociology and multi-criteria decision analysis (fuzzy logic) from operations research to calculate a sustainab...

Heavy metal and metalloid (Cr, Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu, Ni, As and Hg) concentrations in groundwater from 19 typical sites throughout a typical brownfield were detected. Mean concentrations of toxic metals in groundwater decreased in the order of Cr > Zn > Cu > Cd > Ni > Pb > Hg > As. Concentration of Cr6+ in groundwater was detected to further study chromium contamination. Cr6+ and Cd in groundwater we...

This is a theoretical paper which draws on the existing land-planning and state failure literatures to underpin its key assumptions and to provide an appropriate context. Its main purpose is to consider the connection between capital markets and brownfield development. The paper begins with a summary of the various explanations put forward for why the private sector appears reluctant to build o...
