Abstract
This paper describes how sustainable development practices began making their debut in the US at about the same time that brownfields reuse came of age, although both have traveled independent, disconnected paths. This paper provides an overview of the best practices in brownfields reuse and sustainable development in order to demonstrate the multiple areas of commonality and overlap in both fields. Utilizing the separate lessons learned from brownfields reuse and sustainable development, this paper offers a set of practical, guiding principles and criteria that integrate the best practices of both fields. Ultimately, this paper seeks to place brownfields reuse and sustainable development on a unified, shared path so that brownfields can be redeveloped in a truly sustainable manner.
