Brownfield

A Brownfield refers to a piece of land previously used for industrial or commercial purposes that may be contaminated or polluted. These sites often require cleanup before they can be safely reused or developed for new purposes such as housing, parks, or businesses. Brownfields are common in urban areas where industries once operated but have since closed or moved. Redeveloping Brownfield sites helps revitalize neighborhoods, reduce urban sprawl, and make productive use of land that might otherwise be neglected or unsafe. Cleanup and redevelopment often involve environmental assessments and remediation to ensure safety.
