Brownfield Development: The Implications for Urban Infrastructure

无论是对老城市还是对新城市来说，棕地工业用地都是一种资源，也是一种责任。棕地工业用地往往因为不符合《超级基金法》严格的整治要求而空置。棕地地块代表了一个建立税基、振兴陈旧基础设施和萧条社区的机会。随着发展和老化对现有基础设施的压力不断增加，以及更合理的场地赎回方法的机会，棕地及其相关基础设施为绿地提供了一个有吸引力的选择。特别是由于越来越多的限制和公众对绿地开发的反对减缓了开发进程。这个为期三年的跨学科研究项目探讨了棕地开发对城市基础设施的影响以及城市基础设施对棕地开发的影响。本研究将以匹兹堡市为个案，集中研究资讯管理与理性决策。＊＊＊

Brownfield sites represent an opportunity to build the tax base and rejuvenate decaying infrastructure and depressed communities. With ever increasing pressures on existing infrastructure from both development and age, and the opportunities for more rational approaches to site redemption, brownfields and their associated infrastructure offer an attractive alternative to greenfield sites. Particularly since increasing restrictions and public opposition to greenfield development slows down the development process. The interdisciplinary three year research program addresses the implications of brownfield development for urban infrastructure and the impact of urban infrastructure on brownfield development. The research will focus on information management and rational decision making using the City of Pittsburgh as a case study. ***
