Abstract: Brownfield redevelopment is a major urban issue on a global platform. As older industrial sectors give way to new clean and green industries, the physical remnants of older industrialised areas need to be addressed. Brownfields have the potential of being change agents in communities as they move from being industrial ruins to adaptive reuse or open spaces. This paper explores how brownfields can become public assets and how polices and regulations in two continents promote, hinder or challenge this transformation.
