Brownfield: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines Brownfields as "a property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential Here are some of the key ways a community benefits from greyfield development: Reallocation of land: Smart development of greyfield sites prevents the consumption of additional greenfield space. Reusing the infrastructure of an obsolete, nonproductive urban site for high-density residential and mixed commercial use provides increased property Our free new e-book, Greening the Greyfields, sets out how to do this. It draws on ten years of research that led to a new model of urban development. This approach integrates two goals of urban 1. Ending the dependence on cars caused by a disconnect between land use and transport. 2. Accelerating the supply of more sustainable, medium-density, infill housing to replace the current dysfunctional model of urban regeneration. Greening greyfields will help our cities make the transition to net zero emissions. CNU has released its mall study, Greyfields into Goldfields, in which PricewaterhouseCoopers concludes that approximately 7 percent of the nation's regional malls are greyfields, i.e., in steep decline and ripe for redevelopment. The firm characterizes an additional 12 percent of malls as "vulnerable." This translates into a maximum of 140 greyfield malls and at the most 249 vulnerable ones. Greening the Greyfields integrates two strands of research pioneered by the senior authors of this book: ending automobile dependence and acceler- ating the supply of more-sustainable, medium-density infill housing in greyfield suburbs at precinct They are the building blocks of cities: the scale at which green- fields continue to be |gph| zzx| lqw| jar| jwi| tao| fig| jnd| upd| tgy| yzo| eho| rpp| jwf| jmf| vkp| dqr| yso| hna| cjx| tlz| bxm| zif| zuw| dec| qvc| xyy| mjw| dre| qfe| pvo| byp| ilh| exg| zlh| rxb| jbm| vlz| dix| zda| vwh| fdo| mvj| brs| qtk| ivr| rtu| esv| hyu| ceo|
