The research symposium in PD&R’s newest issue of Cityscape: A Journal of Policy Development and Research (Volume 12, Number 3) examines perspectives and approaches to brownfield issues. The collected studies focus on whether state voluntary cleanup programs support brownfield redevelopment (Dennis Guignet and Anna Alberini), the effects of brownfields on industrial land sales and prices (Marie Howland), the conflict between economic development and environmental improvement (Peter B. Meyer), the issues associated with HUD brownfield redevelopment policy in 2003 and site contamination (Eugene Goldfarb), and barriers to brownfield redevelopment that include uncertainty regarding cost and environmental liability (David Slutzky and A.J. Frey). The symposium’s guest editor, Edwin Stromberg, contextualizes these studies in an historical account of brownfields as a federal policy issue.
