“…Classifications based on brownfields' origins typically include categories such as industrial, railway, military, institutional, commercial, cultural, and leisure (Yakhlef and Abed 2019). Based on our previous experience (Rey and Lufkin 2015) and with a view to update the list of categories according to society's recent evolutions, in particular the energy transition, we propose a classification based on the following eight categories: industrial, railway, military, waterfront, infrastructural, commercial, energy, and diverse.…”

Brownfield is a polysemic notion that encompasses a whole range of diverse spaces. Although there is no official definition at the European level, an emerging consensus has arisen around the urban character of brownfields and the need for intervention. Indeed, their location within metropolitan areas represents a strategic opportunity to densify and rejuvenate the urban fabric at the neighbourhood scale. Hence, we propose a definition of urban brownfields that is flexible enough to optimize the potential development of abandoned sites and precise enough to enable framing the discussion. Then, we take a look at the diversity of urban brownfields in European metropolitan areas by briefly explaining the factors that cause a site to become a brownfield and then attempting to classify different types of urban brownfields. The proposed classification aims to create a non-exhaustive reference framework by offering in-depth knowledge of the urban brownfield and regeneration projects phenomenon across Europe, without setting its meaning in stone.

“…As far as foreign resources are concerned, the categorization according to the CABERBET project from 2006 is frequently quoted (also termed as ABC model). The presented synthesis of brownfield typology is also based on information from the classification and categorization of brownfields by the selected foreign authors (Norrman et al, 2015;Pizzol et al, 2016;Ferber et al, 2006;Bakker, 2016;Yakhlef andAbed, 2019 or Naveed et al, 2018). It needs to be said that the Czech authors mentioned above also reflect the foreign brownfield typology in their approach as far as the classification of brownfields is concerned which in no way differs from the international concept.…”

The issue of brownfields, abandoned and unused sites and buildings, is repeatedly accentuated by the experts with respect to the predominant contemporary urbanistic, environmental, economic or social approaches. Despite the fact that the issue of brownfields was scientifically discussed from various points of view, there are still some general findings that have not been fully covered and processed. One of them is the basic typology of brownfields. The aim of the paper is thus to synthesize the heterogeneous typology of brownfields into a logical and comprehensive framework that would reflect its content and classification comprehensiveness. Such synthesis of typological schemes and their objective categorization into standard classes and groups reflects the general requirements regarding the characteristics of brownfields and enables to define the individual brownfields according to a uniform method and analyze them using the standardized categories. The presented categorization of brownfields is based on the already used classification which is then extended with new groups that are unified in terms of their content. The next part of the paper is the definition of specific types of brownfields such as, for example, blackfield, bluefield or goldfield and others.

“…Amman has several patches containing abandoned sites of various uses in general and city center in specific. This was emphasized by Yakhlef and Abed (2019), who discussed the typologies of brownfield sites in terms of size, use, occupancy level, and physical condition. Fortunately, most of these sites have no real or perceived contamination problems because of their original use; therefore, they should be seen as viable sites in terms of feasibility and profitability.…”

“…However, none was achieved in Jordan, except for a few fragmented projects initiated by private institutions or owners. More than 150 sites are spread throughout the city of Amman (the capital of Jordan)-ranging from tiny to huge-with various uses, such as industrial, commercial, military, and infrastructure (Yakhlef and Abed, 2019). Therefore, it is necessary to develop a strategy for brownfield regeneration that pursues an ideal intervention.…”

“…This is combined with insufficient supporting funds that can initiate a change toward redevelopment. The city center has transformed from a place bustling with life into a lifeless structure with no identity (Meaton and Alnsour, 2012;Yakhlef and Abed, 2019). Keeping this in mind, this research study aims to understand the paradox of brownfield sites in facilitating a framework proposal for rehabilitation strategies using a real-life project or scenarios for case study.…”

Brownfield regeneration has a positive impact on the quality of life in several dimensions, which enhances the livability and vitality of a city. On the contrary, Amman suffered from intensification of abandoned, derelict sites in the city center, along with severe deficiencies in terms of database and regeneration policy. Therefore, this research study aims to develop a flexible strategy for brownfield regeneration to encourage efforts toward implementation. This initially started by exploring all the brownfield sites in Amman in general and then those located in dynamic, vibrant locations in specific. Four case studies were selected, which included abandoned buildings within an urban setting. Spatial analysis was performed on case studies, including basic descriptive analysis, contextual analysis, and strength, weakness, opportunities, and threats analysis, which helped recognize the opportunities and challenges associated with different sites. The strategies were discussed further by several experts through the Delphi technique, where data were collected from relevant stakeholders to highlight the brownfield regeneration terminology in terms of definition, familiarity, opportunities and risks, governmental role, and policy availability, along with recommendations to improve the practice. Finally, several strategies were developed on the basis of collaboration between stakeholders. These strategies are hard to be generalized to all sites in different regions, as each one has specific issues that need to be considered. Therefore, further studies need to be conducted to validate the results of this study, foster the implementation of brownfield regeneration, and promote sustainable development by reducing urban sprawl and encouraging compactness.
