Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In urban planning, a brownfield is a former industrial or commercial site where environmental contamination hinders development. They exist in almost every community--there is probably one in your neighborhood--and state or federal resources can be used to facilitate assessment, cleanup and reuse. Drawing on a range of local and international experiences, this collection of essays focuses on cases where citizens, nonprofits, developers, cities, and state and federal agencies overcame challenges and mitigated risks to redevelop brownfields using leading-edge practices and simple innovations. The Covid-19 pandemic and mass civil unrest of 2020 underscores the importance of health and social justice considerations in future development initiatives.

Download or read book Principles of Brownfield Regeneration written by Justin Hollander and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2010-09-02 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US. EPA defines brownfields as "idle real property, the development or improvement of which is impaired by real or perceived contamination." The authors of Principles of Brownfield Regeneration argue that, compared to "greenfields"-farmland, forest, or pasturelands that have never been developed-brownfields offer a more sustainable land development choice. They believe that brownfields are central to a sustainable planning strategy of thwarting sprawl, preserving or regenerating open space, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and reinvesting in urbanized areas. This is the first book to provide an accessible introduction to the design, policy, and technical issues related to brownfield redevelopment. After defining brownfields and advocating for their redevelopment, the book describes the steps for cleaning up a site and creating viable land for development or open space. Land use and design considerations are addressed in a separate chapter and again in each of five case studies that make up the heart of the volume: The Steel Yard, Providence, RI; Assunpink Greenway, Trenton, NJ; June Key Community Center Demonstration Project, Portland, OR; Eastern Manufacturing Facility, Brewer, ME; and The Watershed at Hillsdale, Portland, OR. Throughout, the authors draw on interviews with people involved in brownfield projects as well as on their own considerable expertise.

This book was released on 2014-08-02 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has changed since the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Brownfields Program began in 1995. Years ago, brownfields were seen primarily as undesirable contaminated properties that often sat idle and contributed to blight. Today, many communi- ties recognize that while brownfields are contaminated properties, they also can be important community assets that present a tremendous opportunity for community revitalization. Most major brownfields are well-located in centers of economic activity, and many brownfields properties have excellent existing infrastructure and access to services. Cleaning up and reinvesting in brownfields increases local tax bases, facilitates job growth, utilizes existing infrastructure, and takes development pressures off of undevel- oped greenfields while improving and protecting the environment. The challenge is finding ways to leverage these assets to rebuild downtowns, revitalize smaller communities, and promote economic revital- ization. The Brownfields Program does more than simply address environmental contamination-it recognizes that a community's quality of life goes hand-in-hand with economic development and sustainability, and encourages communities to develop and implement their own vision for community revitalization. An example is Lansing, Michigan, where the community leaders' revitalization vision for the city's downtown centered on cleanup and redevelopment of the abandoned 1920s-era Ottawa Street Power Plant. The huge, decrepit structure was an eyesore that dominated the waterfront along the Grand River and contributed to blight. Despite many calls to demolish the structure, Lansing wanted to preserve it. The city assembled a package of grants and financial incentives that included EPA brownfields assessment and cleanup grants, a Michigan Renaissance Zone designation, and state grants, along with brownfield tax credits, brownfield tax increment financing, federal and state Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits, and New Market Tax Credits. Each was needed to rehabilitate the property. Today, the power plant is a "signature building" that is a centerpiece for Lansing's downtown renaissance. It is home to the Accident Fund Insurance Company, one of the companies that make Lansing the insurance hub of the Midwest.
