Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2016 in the subject Urban and Regional Planning, language: English, abstract: This term paper deals with the sustainable redevelopment of brownfields in the case of Joda Barbil. The concept of redevelopment means another opportunity to revive the lost glory of once flourishing area. But while defining it as an area which underwent immense changes to be redeveloped for the betterment of the society holds a meaning which is unique in its own terms. The brownfields being developed as recreational areas is not only a judicious decision in today's terms but also it is a tribute to what the land has undergone to make humankind prosper. In today's world of rapid urbanization, the lack of "new" developable land within cities presents a challenge to turn park-poor areas into more liveable neighbourhoods. The solution could be by turning previous industrial properties into recreational paces. A community can often experience economic revitalization by the creation of a single park, bringing people together around common goals and attracting commercial interests. The conversion of brownfield into recreational areas also helps guarantee the liveability and long-term success of community redevelopment projects. The aftermath of industrialization leading to deterioration of nature for men's own need without judicious thinking about nature has led to dying of areas which were once beaming with life. There was hardly any planning being done for post mining or industrial areas. An outline has to be drawn to make these areas useful and give them respect for what they bore to let the mankind survive. Hence a study is necessary in this context. In brief, if a proper planning is done for these areas then we can save them and make them lively again through a functional use. The main focus will be in doing a detailed analysis of these areas to find out the possibilities for redevelopment and then suggesting guidelines for pre and post mini

Sustainable Brownfield Regeneration presents a comprehensive account of UK policies, processes and practices in brownfield regeneration and takes an integrated and theoretically-grounded approach to highlight best practice. Brownfield regeneration has become a major policy driver in developed countries. It is estimated that there are 64,000 hectares of brownfield land in England, much of which presents severe environmental challenges and lies alongside some of the most deprived communities in the country. Bringing such land back into active use has taken on a new urgency among policymakers, developers and other stakeholders in the development process. Frequently, however, policy thinking and practice has been underpinned by ‘silo’ mentalities, in which integrated and multidisciplinary approaches to problem-solving have been limited. The book has two principal aims. The first is to examine the ways in which science and social science research disciplines can be brought together to help solve important brownfield regeneration issues, with a focus on the UK. The second is to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of different types of regeneration policy and practice, and to show how ‘liveable spaces’ can be produced from ‘problem places’. The Thames Gateway in the south of England and Greater Manchester in the North of England are shown as examples of how brownfield regeneration projects are developing in an era where sustainability is high on the policy agenda. From the Foreword by Paul Syms, National Brownfield Advisor, English Partnerships: ‘Ensuring the effective and efficient reuse of brownfield land is an essential part of the British Government’s land use policies in support of sustainable communities. [This book] recognises that reusing brownfield land is not just about over-coming technical issues to remove contamination or other physical problems with the ground. It highlights the importance of engaging with the many different stakeholders whose opinions and concerns need to be taken into account if sustainable outcomes are to be achieved. The authors also recognise that brownfield land reuse is not just about building new homes or places of employment – the creation of new green spaces can be just as important.’

Examines the role that brownfields redevelopment is playing and can play in our quest for sustainability, focusing on efforts in the US and Canada. This book looks at how brownfields are used as spaces for developing an array of residential, recreational, and employment-oriented projects that have breathed new life into the urban environment.
