CABERNET 2014: Tailored & Sustainable Redevelopment towards Zero Brownfields
4th International Conference on Managing Urban Land
In association with the Final Conference of the EU FP7 Project “HOMBRE” and in cooperation with the EU FP 7 projects “GLOCOM”, “Greenland” and “TIMBRE”
14th – 16th October 2014 · Frankfurt am Main · Germany
INVITATION
Brownfields are an inherent feature of most, if not all, cities around the globe. They all have a great potential to contribute to the long term successful development of their cities. However, if they are ignored, brownfield sites can become the cause of social and economic problems.
Almost a decade after the first CABERNET conference, the 4th International Conference on Managing Urban Land will celebrate progress made, mark lessons learnt and present new insights in how brownfield sites can be part of a vibrant urban environment. We invite contributions that increase our understanding of the complex system and the possibilities that a given city offers to private and public decision makers allowing them to operate on a sounder, more predictable basis than before. CABERNET is delighted to be working with friends – old and new – from European Commission 7th Framework funded projects GLOCOM, Greenland, TIMBRE and HOMBRE.
We look forward to welcoming you in Germany’s Frankfurt am Main for three days of sharing inspiration, motivation and validation of experiences from around Europe and beyond.
