Chapter Chapter 20 in Crisis after the Crisis: Economic Development in the New Normal, 2023, pp 275-285 from Springer Abstract: Abstract In the context of the COVID crisis and the impact that the pandemic is having on the global economy, infrastructure development needs special attention, especially in terms of costs. Given the large areas in which investments related to roads and railways are planned, there is a danger that they will overlap with contaminated or potentially contaminated sites. This overlap would bring additional costs to already expensive infrastructure projects and may affect the work schedule and cause delays. Currently, the contaminated sites have a restrictive regime in terms of their use, and the decontamination process is often invasive and expensive. This paper presents a framework for better management of contaminated sites to tick criteria such as nature-based solutions and land use during remediation, which can streamline the construction of roads and railways and reduce decontamination costs.
