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.

Implementation and work steps

• Identification of a suitable site
• Cost calculation
• Land recycling
• Marketing

Requirements

• Demand for real estate from companies
• Brownfields
• Data about the derelict sites as a basis of investment decisions:
  • Former usage of the site
  • Kind of pollution
  • Available infrastructure

Output

• Attractive sites for new investments (less costly and faster to make use of, infrastructural setup already existent)
• Less demand for green-fields
• Job creation
• Rising quality of life for surrounding neighbourhoods
