Abstract
Heavy industrial decline throughout the past century left a large number of sites in inner cities empty and derelict.
A large number of sites were left in inner cities abandoned and empty due to heavy industrial decline through the past 100 years. As such industrial sites were no longer required within the cities but rather close to ports and direct roads, the need for such active industrial sites has diminished. Therefore, a need for urban rejuvenation processes to remediate these neglected sites that remain after decades unused and with them remain unused potential. Recently, independent projects attempt to utilize those potentials through a bottom-up approach.
This research uses Ramses Zone, in Cairo as a case study of brownfield sites. To do so, the study has developed two frameworks to identify brownfields and to evaluate them.
This research was conducted with the aim of guiding the government and urban developers in addition to other stakeholders with regard to urban development and particularly brownfield sites’ redevelopment.
The first framework identifies potential brownfield on various steps. Beginning with potential brownfield sites’ locations and ending with potential sites tax status.
The second framework studies the redevelopment option of a brownfield site to evaluate its viability by examining different elements. These elements stand on the community benefits as well as other local factors that affect the redevelopment process of a brownfield.
The above frameworks were used to reach the conclusion that Ramses zone is a brownfield that is qualified for urban redevelopment. Such frameworks can be further made use of if applied to other potential brownfield sites gradually can achieve sustainable development on a larger level.
Finally, we can get guidelines to identify and evaluates the redevelopment potential of brownfield sit
