The environmental legacy of past industrial and agricultural
development can simultaneously pose serious threats to human health
and impede reuse of contaminated land. The urban landscape around
the world is littered with sites contaminated with a variety of
toxins produced by past use. Both public and private sector actors
are often reluctant to make significant investments in properties
that simultaneously pose significant potential human health issues,
and may demand complex and very expensive cleanups. The chapters in
this volume recognize that land and water contamination are now
almost universally acknowledged to be key social, economic, and
political issues. How multiple societies have attempted to craft
and implement public policy to deal with these issues provides the
central focus of the book. The volume is unique in that it provides
a global comparative perspective on brownfield policy and examples
of its use in a variety of countries.
