A Study on the Restoration of Brownfield Land in Low-Growth Society

Focusing on the case of the UK in recent years

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to clarify a new reclamation technique that takes place of the economic development in derelict, neglected land in the low-growth society. We investigated sustainable development that was the approach of the brownfield land restoration of the UK in recent years and surveyed history, details of the land use, and a system of promotion to this approach. This study has come up with following conclusions. First, a new reclamation technique is a community-led and ecologically informed approach that gives priority to the operation that attempts to prevent the re-ruin with the restoration land. Second, to promote the new reclamation technique, it is necessary to make relations among a country, a local government, and regional communities focusing on their roles which were already clearly allotted individually but not interlinked with each other yet.
