Sustainable Brownfield Regeneration: CABERNET Network Report

Sustainable Brownfield Regeneration:
CABERNET Network Report
Preface
CABERNET (Concerted Action on Brownfield and Economic Regeneration Network) is
the European multi-stakeholder Network that focuses on the complex issues that are
raised by brownfield regeneration. The Network is a forum that allows a diverse group
of stakeholders to share experiences from across Europe. It provides new management
strategies, innovative tools, and a framework for coordinated research activities. The
Network, established in 2002 through support from EC DG Research (2002-2005), is a
self-funded independent multi-stakeholder Network.
CABERNET provides one of the few forums for the interaction of different Stakeholder
Groups at a European level, allowing practitioners to discuss and exchange practices,
experiences and aspirations. This report is one of the products of the Network’s EC
funded project work.
As well as the information that we hope you will gain from this report, CABERNET
also organises meetings and events, in particular a Conference Series. The conference
series is designed to highlight current thinking and future trends in innovative land
management, the outcomes of which feed into European research deliberations, as
well as national and local practice.
We hope that this report will not be your only experience of CABERNET and that you
will engage with Members of the CABERNET Network. In particular, we hope you will
consider joining CABERNET 2007: 2nd International Conference on Managing Urban
Land, in Stuttgart, Germany and other subsequent events.
It is not possible to individually thank all CABERNET Members and external partners
who have been, and are, involved in the CABERNET Network. However, we would like
to take this opportunity to warmly thank the Team Leaders and Members for their very
hard work, input and innovation during the project.
A full list of CABERNET Members and further information on Network activities, including
details of the conference series, can be obtained from: cabernet@nottingham.ac.uk or
