Join experts whose communities are flourishing as a result of sound ordinances and plans that incorporate the lessons of openspace preservation, smart growth, green building, and brownfields reuse. Hear how smart planning can spur brownfields cleanup and reuse, and benefit local economies, quality of life and the environment. Our guests will present approaches taken in a large urban/sub-urban area, as well as those employed in a small town and its surrounding rural areas. This is Part I of a two-part series; information on Part II, a presentation of case studies of successful and sustainable redevelopments of both large and small brownfields, will be provided in the near future. |
