The Sustainable Development Of Urban Brownfield’s Planning And Design

Nowadays, Chinese Industry has been in the midst of transition period which towards post-industrial society. It has been tremendous changes in the fields of economy, industrial structure and urban development. With the fading of traditional industry, there are lots of abandoned lands in some cities, which we call it, the Brownfield. Normally, the Brownfield are located near where the most population distributed, they are not only occupied land resources but have huge impact on the daily life of citizen who live around. With the increasing stress of land resources, it attracts more attention from society and public on the ecological rehabilitation and development of Brownfield. In some western countries, the management and governance of urban Brownfield started relative earlier, under the ecological rehabilitation and development, at the same time, they pay much attention on the transformation of the function of lands as well as the protection and utilization of industrial heritage. At present, some western countries have formed a set of relatively complete system of how to development Brownfield sustainably. However, the industrial transition in China is just started, it has not been formed a set of effective system. In fact, in some major cities, the decline of natural resources, the increase of Brownfield and how to form an effective system to administrate the sustainable development of Brownfiled, are particular important to our country.The thesis is focus on the research of sustainable development of urban Brownfield. In Chapter 1, is the introduction of current research status of Brownfield governance in domestic area and in abroad, also, it describes the importance of the Brownfield governance’s impact on China’s urban development. In Chapter 2, it introduces related theories of the planning of urban Brownfield as well as the current trend and the value of Brownfield planning and utilization. Any practical activities should be supported by theories, thus, the planning and re-use of Brownfield should be supported by the theory of ecological design, sustainable development, landscape design and green design. In Chapter 3, it describes the current status of Brownfield utilization in China, it also introduces the existing problems of Brownfield governance and simply illustrates the reasons that cause related problems. In Chapter 4, it raised several research strategies towards the sustainable development of Brownfield, with the hope of to be the part of theoretical support to the future Brownfield governance in China. In Chapter 5, it emphasizes an representative case of Brownfield governance, which is Dao En Economy zone in Shandong Province. It specifically describes the project’s background and current status as well as the problems occurs during the governance and planning process, hope to provide reference to China’s brownfield management. In the last chapter, while on the basis of the conclusion of practical experience, it studies the mechanisms of Brownfield transformation, including Policy set-up, public participation,equity efficiency, cooperation organization etc.This research aims to comprehensively explain the current problems of urban Brownfield government with the combination of theory and practice. The management of Brownfield has a huge effect on the improvement of urban environmental governance, the release of the conflicts between people and lands, as well as the promotion of cities’ economy development. Hope this research can support the Brownfield governance in China.
