Abstract: Contaminated land clean-ups and redevelopment programmes are likely to have large, but hard to quantify, impacts on human health, on economic and social development, on life quality, and on the environment. To obtain these many benefits and to mobilise the necessary financial resources, public participation and private sector active involvement are required. This article presents the results of two surveys recently completed in Italy, designed to investigate stakeholders' preferences for public clean-up programmes. Both the views of real estate developers who have to achieve the interventions and the attitudes of the population that can benefit from these interventions were under scrutiny. The results were applied to assess the benefit of clean-ups at Porto Marghera in the Lagoon of Venice, an example of a contaminated megasite in Italy.
