File Description [top]

Pollution Abstracts provides fast access to the environmental information necessary to resolve day-to-day problems, ensure ongoing compliance, and handle emergency situations more effectively. Pollution Abstracts combines information on scientific research and government policies in a single resource. Topics of growing concern are extensively covered from the standpoints of atmosphere, emissions, mathematical models, effects on people and animals, and environmental action in response to global pollution issues. To ensure comprehensive coverage, material from conference proceedings and hard-to-find documents has been summarized along with information from primary journals in the field.

  /AB  ABSTRACT: 
      Redevelopment of brownfield land is regarded as an essential component of 
    the achievement of sustainable urban regeneration, and is thus enshrined in 
    a number of key urban policy frameworks. Brownfield redevelopment is 
    considered to be de facto sustainable and presented as a headline 
    sustainability indicator. However, many examples exist where redevelopment 
    of brownfield sites has not been sustainable, as it failed to assess the 
    environmental, social, economic and physical impacts holistically, as well 
    as to consider the long-term impacts of brownfield redevelopment projects 
    (BRPs) in general. It is therefore important to develop and implement a 
    Redevelopment Assessment Framework (RAF), that addresses sustainability 
    throughout a site's life cycle of land use. Such a framework has been 
    developed, and is discussed here. The RAF utilises sustainability 
    indicators, while taking into account relevant existing UK planning 
    evaluation processes and other sources of information, thus making it 
    applicable in practice. The RAF embodies a participatory approach which 
    offers greater communication and understanding between relevant 
    stakeholders, and therefore also offers educational and communications 
    benefits. A description of the RAF, a critical analysis of its intended 
    use, and a discussion of benefits and potential barriers, are provided 
    below.
