| description | 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. |
