브라운필드 재생을 활용한 지역개발에 대한 연구 - 뉴욕시 윌렛츠 포인트 개발 사례를 중심으로 -

Abstract

This study examines the Willets Point development in New York City, a transformative initiative aimed at rehabilitating a heavily contaminated brownfield into a mixed-use area featuring sports facilities, housing, and commercial spaces. By stimulating economic activity and promoting social inclusion, the project showcases the integration of environmental restoration and economic growth through public-private collaboration driven by community participation. Drawing on prior studies and related materials, this research establishes a framework for understanding brownfield redevelopment and public-private partnership models. Through a case study approach, it explores the structure of these partnerships and their impact on local economic revitalization and environmental restoration. The Willets Point case highlights the effective use of brownfield redevelopment as a tool for community development. The public sector's leadership in environmental remediation, combined with private investment, laid a successful foundation for the initiative. This approach provides valuable insights into integrating economic development with community-focused values, serving as a model for sustainable community growth.
