Defining the sustainability objectives of brownfield regeneration to greenspace

Monitoring and evaluation practice for brownfield, regeneration to greenspace initiatives

“…One tool developer stated: "It is very difficult to measure something's performance when there is no agreement on what you are measuring". This issue was also identified by Doick et al (2009) who illustrated that stakeholders of different professions and roles within the brownfield greening life cycle defined sustainability differently. Another barrier in adopting sustainability monitoring and Table 2) and all tool developers interviewed, was lack of familiarity, basic theory knowledge and skills in indicator development and sustainability evaluation.…”

“…Sustainability objectives have recently been put forward (e.g. Doick et al, 2009, Table 1) which could be used to base the development of monitoring strategies. However, there is a need for government action to further develop and promote such objectives.…”

Designing sustainable and economically attractive brownfield revitalization options using an integrated assessment model

“…Although several definitions of sustainability criteria are described in literature, as well as models to assess the sustainability of land use options (e.g., Wedding and Crawford-Brown, 2008;Zavadskas and Antucheviciene, 2006), most DSS today still do not integrate such assessments.

Contaminated Land and Bio‐Remediation

“…Such considerations have been shown to have potentially detrimental effects on the successful establishment of 're-greened' brown-field sites (Doick et al, 2009). Such considerations have been shown to have potentially detrimental effects on the successful establishment of 're-greened' brown-field sites (Doick et al, 2009).…”
