1 TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE: MOVING FROM THE UNDERUSE TO SUSTAINABLE REUSE OF BROWNFIELDS CHRISTOPHER DE SOUSA SCHOOL OF URBAN AND REGIONAL PLANNING RYERSON UNIVERSITY CHRIS.DESOUSA@RYERSON.CA
2 OUTLINE Background Policy Evolution Goals & Outcomes Sustainable Brownfields Research Case Study Lessons Observations
3 BACKGROUND Contaminated site a site that exhibits, after suitable testing, soil or groundwater quality that exceeds quality criteria set by the government. Brownfields real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant (US Brownfields Act 2002)
4 Chicago, Illinois, USA
5 Burlington, Vermont, USA
6 Brantford, Ontario, Canada
7 Gorj County, Romania
8 BACKGROUND Brownfields in the United States Over 400,000 to 1 million brownfields 24,896 sites in 209 cities (USCM 2008) 6% of urban land in brownfield (Simons 1998) Brownfields in Canada 2,000 to 30,000 brownfields 21,000 listed on the Federal Contaminated Sites Inventory, 9,000 sites are listed as closed 3.3% of urban land is brownfield (De Sousa 2004)
9 BROWNFIELDS POLICY EVOLUTION Phase 1 (late 1970s to early 1990s) focus on public health and environmental risk Phase 2 (early 1990s to present) focus on addressing the real and perceived barriers to property redevelopment Phase 3 (early 2000 to present)
10 BROWNFIELD REDEVELOPMENT GOALS Profit, taxes, jobs, contamination ti & blight management + ECONOMY ENVIRONMENT COMMUNITY
11 PROBLEM Redevelopment is done primarily by Developers Development motivations are primarily il economic Brownfield obstacles (and sustainability goals) impose real costs on a Developer s Pro Forma De Sousa, C Brownfield Redevelopment versus Greenfield Development: A Private Sector Perspective on the Costs and Risks Associated with Brownfield Redevelopment in the Greater Toronto Area. Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, 43(6):
12 SOLUTION Public programs and incentives that make a Pro Forma work Offsets (e.g., technical assistance, process facilitation, rezoning) Direct financing g( (e.g., grants, loans) Tax incentives (e.g., tax credits, deferral of taxes) Policy clarity Facilitation vs. Regulation De Sousa, C Brownfield Redevelopment versus Greenfield Development: A Private Sector Perspective on the Costs and Risks Associated with Brownfield Redevelopment in the Greater Toronto Area.

16 BROWNFIELDS POLICY EVOLUTION Phase 1 (late 1970s to early 1990s) focus on public health and environmental risk Phase 2 (early 1990s to present) focus on addressing the real and perceived barriers to property redevelopment Phase 3 (early 2000 to present) focus on achieving a broader range of economic, social, and environmental outcomes associated with sustainability EG E.G., recent tusi initiativesiti EPA Sustainable Brownfield Pilots 2008 HUD-DOT-EPA Partnership for Sustainable Communities 2009
17 SUSTAINABLE REDEVELOPMENT GOALS ( OUTCOMES?) Profit, taxes, jobs, contamination & blight management + Innovative cleanup Green space and habitat Green infrastructure Resource/waste recovery Multi-transport options Energy efficiency & generation Green building & design Water Efficiency ENVIRONMENT ECONOMY Influences local property values (catalytic effect) Influences local economic activity & income Job training Draws on local enterprises COMMUNITY Public amenities Public health Affordable housing Historical preservation
18 SUSTAINABLE BROWNFIELDS CONSORTIUM RESEARCH PROJECT Research Objectives Investigate site histories Catalogue sustainability features Examine how projects overcame barriers to brownfield reuse and the implementation of sustainability features Derive a series of lessons learned Methods (ongoing) Structured interviews with a coordinator from each Sustainability Pilot case study and 4-6 stakeholders interviews per Best Management Practice case study Comprehensive review of relevant project plans and technical reports

21 MOTIVATIONS Primary reason(s) for site selection Interest in location Safety/Community cohesion Part of larger development initiative Vacant land Severe blight Stabilize local market Local demand Primary reason(s) for incorporating sustainability Public & Government Interest Promote change toward sustainable ideas Initiation through another program Regulatory compliance
22 PROJECT PLANNING & IMPLEMENTATION Main Obstacles Financial/Cost Local regulation & permits Technical capacity Communication/ Negotiation Education on sustainability Main Benefits Community development Community unification Model of sustainability Employment Affordability Energy efficiency & alternatives Reutilization of vacant space Increase local population and home ownership

24 LESSONS LEARNED: VISION Project and Sustainability Vision Extensive community and stakeholder consultation, input, & empowerment Extensive market & property research Funding required to generate a sustainable vision
25 EXAMPLE: MORAN CONSULTATION PROCESS
26 EXAMPLE: MORAN CONSULTATION PROCESS Ideas Matter: Planning for the Future Use of Moran Generating Plant (2005) Site tours Phase I: Idea Cards (2005) Phase II: Idea Technical Review Committee (Oct. 2005) Phase III: Survey and Public Forums (Dec. 2005) Phase IV: Voting (March 2006 Ballot) Phase V: Concept Drawings (Sept. 2006) Final Phase: Moran Advisory Ballot (Mar. 2008)

32 OBSERVATIONS, CONCLUSIONS, & LESSONS Growing interest in trying out sustainability, particularly among city governments and nonprofits More funding is required for both brownfields and sustainability Technical assistance is a useful tool for advancing and implementing sustainability, but it is not cheap Over reliance on sustainability champions Surprisingly limited knowledge about real estate and economic development fundamentals among public & nonprofit champions Need to enhance incentives/disincentives if we want to get the private sector to moving towards sustainability Need a better understanding of the benefits of sustainability
