Changes in the way in which goods and services are produced, as well as the transition from a national to a world-based economy, have created a new economic environment for contemporary urban. The result is an overall decline in the economic and social infrastructure of many communities, and a corresponding legacy of economically unproductive, abandoned or underutilized industrial sites. Contaminated site redevelopment, in addition to benefiting human health and the environment by the restoration of once-contaminated properties to productive uses, can also become an essential component of the economic and social revitalization of the community itself.The sustainable development perspective recognizes that the social structure, economy, and natural environment of a community, rather than being discrete and separate entities, are interconnected in fundamental and critical ways. The incorporation of sustainability into the contaminated site redevelopment process is an important mechanism for ensuring not only the restoration and reuse of existing contaminated site properties, but also that previous cycles of decay and abandonment are not repeated.A sustainable contaminated site redevelopment cannot depend solely on the processes of the marketplace to deal with abandoned or underutilized properties. The market cannot always assure that what is rational and attractive to the developer will also be beneficial to the community, or that building what people want is a natural function of the market system. Sustainable contaminated site redevelopment refers to redevelopment and growth that are maintained over the long-term and occur within the limits of the environment so that the current needs of the citizens are met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.In chapter 1 to 3, some important context about urban contaminated site will be given, including definition, background, past and present use situation, problems in project and plan levels. In chapter 4, technology and strategy for sustainable contaminated site will be given, including key characteristics in contaminated site redevelopment process, main remediation technology to contaminated land.In chapter 5, framework and process will be design, and in chapter 6, conclusion will be given.
