Abstract: Brownfield land is both a problem and a lost opportunity, since the sites can have a negative impact on the surrounding area and community and hinder effective regeneration. Thus, regeneration of brownfields has gradually become an important challenge for regional and local development. The focus of this paper is to analyse brownfield issues in the city of Sarajevo with respect to the needs of the local community. The work particularly addressed a brownfield area exemplified in the Novi Grad municipality, which includes architectural and urban settings and is currently a main point of interest in the city of Sarajevo. The paper argues how functional clean-up of the site, reuse of abandoned area and analysis of the social impact on the local community could offer new alternatives in brownfield regeneration that stimulate development opportunities at numerous levels, including enhancing urban competitiveness and reducing urban sprawl.
