Information About

Brownfield Land




Brownfields are abandoned, idled, or under-used industrial and commercial facilities where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental contaminations. 1

In City Planning , brownfield land, or simply a '''brownfield''', is Land previously used for Industrial purposes, or certain commercial uses, and that may be contaminated by low concentrations of Hazardous Waste or Pollution and has the potential to be reused once it is cleaned up. Land that is more severely contaminated and has high concentrations of Hazardous Waste or Pollution , such as Superfund or Hazardous Waste sites, does not fall under the brownfield classification.

Note that in the United Kingdom and Australia , the term applies merely to previously-used land. See below.
