The Role of Brownfields as Sites for Mixed Use Development Projects in America and Britain

摘要

The successful mixed-use development projects that have been planned and completed in the United States can serve as an example for future brownfield developments in the United States and the United Kingdom. Atlantic Station is one of the most successful brownfield redevelopments in the United States. The strategy used for development in Atlanta can be implemented in other brownfield projects as well. The Gowanus Canal development project, which is still in the early stages, should be examined when considering the potentially hindering effects of government involvement. Government cleanup requirements have caused redevelopment to be delayed by over a decade.
