Land, Development and Design, 2nd Edition
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Sep 2010, Pages: 344
Development of brownfield land can address shortfalls in the availability of land for housing and other buildings, but these sites present a range of problems that must be overcome in any successful development.
Land, Development and Design addresses all of the issues in the context of the reuse of urban land, providing a solid, readable overview of the principles and practice of the regeneration of brownfield sites. Divided into four parts, covering the development process and planning policies; site assessment, risk analysis and remediation of contaminated land; development issues and finally design issues, the principal focus of the book is on the reuse of urban land. It includes a full discussion of contaminated land, so that readers are aware of the issues and options available to resolve this problem.
Land, Development and Design has been extensively revised since its first edition and provides final year undergraduate and postgraduate students of both planning and surveying, as well as professional planners, surveyors and developers, a solid and readable overview of the principles and practice of regeneration of the built environment.
Key features:
- Remains one of the few texts to look at development of brownfield sites
- UK government remains committed to development on brownfield land with an estimated 4 million new homes needed in England by 2026
- Covers all types of development, not just residential
- Highly practical and draws on author's consultancy work on contaminated land
