This volume is a focused case-study of the award winning150-acre brownfield redevelopment project, Paleiskwartier, in the Netherlands.
Tracing the project’s history and evolution over three decades and extracting behind-the scenes insights through conversations with its key players, this book shows how an incremental brownfield upcycling effort, coupled with a compact development footprint and proximity to a major transit node, can become a paradigm of urban sustainability. It also demonstrates how new infill in underused industrial areas our cities can accommodate significant urban growth, thereby reducing the need for expansion at the urban edge.
