Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A disused gasworks site with soil contamination from removed underground storage tanks is an example of a brownfield site. Brownfield sites are abandoned sites available for re-use. The land may be contaminated by low concentrations of hazardous waste or pollution and has the potential to be reused once it is cleaned up. Redevelopment on brownfields provides an important opportunity to restore degraded urban land while promoting infill and reducing sprawl.
