Brownfields are sites that have been affected by the former uses of the site or surrounding land, are derelict or underused, and may have contamination problems. They often have a bad image and are often not competitive compared to greenfields without public intervention. These sites often have to be the remediated of hazards to human beings, groundwater and ecosystems, and need to be put back to the property market.
