Brown-field development
© GIZ, Brown-field development
The tool refers to methodology and guidelines to reactivate brownfields for industrial development. Investors looking for real estate should benefit from a shorter process for planning and locating their businesses compared to setting up on green-fields. Furthermore, green-fields can be saved, jobs created and the quality of life for surrounding neighbourhoods improved.
