Tailored & Sustainable Redevelopment towards Zero Brownfields

INVITATION
Brownfields are an inherent feature of most, if not all, cities around the globe. They all have a potential contribution to make to the long term success of their city. However, if they are ignored, brownfield sites can become the focus of social and economic problems.
Almost a decade after the first CABERNET conference, the 4th International Conference on Managing Urban Land will celebrate progress, mark lessons learnt and present new insights in how brownfield sites can be part of a vibrant urban environment. We invite contributions that increases our understanding of the complex system that a given city allows private and public decision makers to move forward on a sounder, more predictable basis than before. CABERNET is delighted to be working with friends – old and new – from European Commission 7th Framework funded projects GLOCOM, Greenland, TIMBRE and HOMBRE.
We look forward to welcoming you in Germany’s Frankfurt am Main for three days of sharing inspiration, motivation and validation of experiences from around Europe and beyond.

A. Integrated urban land management and policies
