Sažetak
This guidance note is primarily addressed to local or regional public authorities responsible for the management of brownfields in the transition economies of Central and Eastern Europe. The potential audience may be much wider and include central government agencies, regional development agencies, and public-private entities in charge of urban development projects, in this region and in other countries and cities around the world. The main impetus for this work is to offer perspectives and solutions to one of the many challenges cities are facing, especially in post-socialist emerging market environments, where urban brownfields are a major hurdle to transforming local economies. Brownfields are understood here as derelict or underused sites with real or perceived contamination problems that create an obstacle to their development potential. As such, these sites represent both a problem and an opportunity. The threat they pose to humans and the environment from poorly contained contamination legacies requires prompt intervention. Thus, the prime motive for dealing with brownfields often stems from an environmental and social imperative. On the other hand, redeveloped brownfields can become nuclei and engines for economic development and an improved quality of life for the cities and communities where they are located.
