Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chicago Brownfields Initiative was born of a high profile and well-respected public planning process to change the "brownfields" project from one that relied on liability to one that relied on private investment to clean up and redevelop contaminated surplus land. Its recommendations successfully shaped many of the state and federal tools in use 15 years later. Today, despite a large portfolio of unremediated brownfields, the project has lost its visibility and urgency. Using interviews with program stakeholders past and present and other materials, the thesis examines why the program's political cachet waned and the problem narrowed to focus on real estate development apart from broader disinvestment challenges. Using data from the Illinois Site Remediation Program and other Chicago geospatial data, this thesis shows that the results of an incomplete Initiative were mixed, specifically the geographic distribution of site remediation and the success of publicly initiated projects. The case of the Initiative provides insight into the complexities of environmental, economic development and redevelopment policy in the City of Chicago and why a truly "green" city is difficult to achieve. This thesis argues that the City of Chicago, in the context of a region experiencing similar economic and environmental questions, is poised to transform the urban brownfields project again, from a real estate scheme to a multi-faceted system that does not wait for investment, but shapes demand to guide clean-up and redevelopment in the city.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While industrial and chemical innovations have contributed extensively to human advancement, the darker part of their legacy has been the hundreds of thousands of polluted sites left behind. Governments at all levels have rallied to support the remediation and reuse of these land resources and put many of the nation’s brownfields back into productive use. This book presents two dozen brownfield projects in the United States that have incorporated sustainability, highlighting project features, best management practices, and lessons from the field regarding the underlying policies and practices that enabled these projects to be completed or, in some cases, stalled, altered or abandoned. The case studies represent an array of brownfield projects that aimed to go beyond conventional practice and include a range and variety of end uses (e.g., corner gas stations, industrial, office, residential, brightfields, green space, mixed-use, and transit-oriented developments). The cases investigate site histories, planning and development and examine sustainability characteristics to understand how projects overcame the barriers to brownfield reuse and the implementation of sustainability features and derive a series of lessons learned, including innovative policies, programs, and/or funding mechanisms that helped make these projects work. Sustainable Brownfield Development will be of interest to developers, planners, consultants and community representatives interested in environmental policy, urban planning, community development, ecological restoration, economic development, and parks planning by providing direction and inspiration for those eager to erase the blight of the past and build a more sustainable future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brownfields are abandoned or underused industrial and commercial facilities where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by environmental contamination that may present direct public health hazards. The more serious threat is to the economic health of the host city due to lost jobs, abandoned industrial sites, and the expansion of blighted neighborhoods. Ultimately, the private real estate market will determine how brownfields are reused, but this report concludes that government must also act to protect the public interest.

Book excerpt: Tackling a hot green architectural topic – brownfield sites – this title asks the essential question: how should urban and post-industrial sites best be rehabilitated to balance ecological and human needs? This issue of AD is devoted to what planners refer to as ‘brownfields’. These are often sites made toxic through a recipe of urbanism and industry, from our great water thoroughfares to our landfills. They are often the only sites available to us for planning consideration. The book examines the conflict between the demands of ecology and development when reclaiming such sites for re-development, bringing together multiple viewpoints from different disciplines. Includes the internationally renowned Andy Goldsworthy, Glenn Murcutt and Renzo Piano It will recast the topic in a fresh and current light that will interest a wide audience from students to practitioners Aerial photographs, maps and photo essays will give the visuals a richness and breadth of appeal ‘Green’ is an architectural buzzword, and is viewed as the new parameter for good practice

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: City greening has been heralded for contributing to environmental governance and critiqued for exacerbating displacement and inequality. Bringing these two disparate analyses into conversation, this book offers a comparative understanding of how tensions between growth, environmental protection, and social equity are playing out in practice. Examining Chicago, USA, Birmingham, UK, and Vancouver, Canada, McKendry argues that city greening efforts were closely connected to processes of post-industrial branding in the neoliberal economy. While this brought some benefits, concerns about the unequal distribution of these benefits and greening’s limited environmental impact challenged its legitimacy. In response, city leaders have moved toward initiatives that strive to better address environmental effectiveness and social equity while still spurring growth. Through an analysis that highlights how different varieties of liberal environmentalism are manifested in each case, this book illustrates that cities, though constrained by inconsistent political will and broader political and economic contexts, are making contributions to more effective, socially just environmental governance. Both critical and hopeful, McKendry’s work will interest scholars of city greening, environmental governance, and comparative urban politics.
