Abstract
The goal set by the author of the study is to consider the good European practices in the remediation and reuse of Brownfields and on that basis to outline the possibilities for the use of these practices in Bulgaria in order to limit the territorial expansion of settlements (populated places) at the expense of non-urbanized areas. The specific character of the issue under study determines the following research methods as most suitable: the document analysis method; the comparison method; the methods of analysis and synthesis. There are laid down the possibilities for Brownfield reuse in Bulgaria. The reuse of the so-called brownfields combines the advantages of the environmental, the economic and the social development as it results in a more sustainable development of settlements, as well as in reduced reclamation and building up of green areas and non-urbanized land for the erection of new buildings and the development of infrastructure (social as well as technical).
Highlights
The need to take a variety of measures in order to limit the adverse consequences of the uncontrollable territorial expansion of settlements has been realized by many European countries
The good European practices in that respect are connected with the use and application of various tools, one of them being the regeneration and reuse of the so-called "brownfields" within towns and cities
The aim of the author of this article is to discuss some good European practices in the regeneration and reuse of brownfields and on that basis to outline the possibilities for the use of these practices in Bulgaria in order to limit the territorial expansion of settlements at the expense of non-urbanized areas
