An Urban Conundrum - Industrial Brownfield Redevelopment (by Brian
Villemaire, Canadian Industrial Property Guide)
Brownfields, those unsightly abandoned, underutilized or long-term idle sites are ever present in all Towns and Municipalities across Canada. They range from small vacant corner gas stations to huge multi-acre heavy industrial sites.

Journal of Canada)
Industrial Sites which are abandoned, idle or under-utilized, whether possessing issues of contamination or not, are referred to as brownfields. This is diametrically opposed to Greenfields, which are new development sites. Brownfields are typically an urban reality and are more often found in communities with long established manufacturing, warehousing and heavy industrial concerns.

In the U.S., federal involvement in brownfield remediation goes back 50 years and almost all the states have programs in place with dedicated funds and resources to help municipalities return the land to productive use. Such is not the case in Canada.
