Brownfield covenants, Condition 26/10/2023

The Flemish Government wishes to encourage and facilitate the redevelopment of abandoned industrial estates (so-called brownfields) by concluding covenants with project developers and investors. Through such a covenant, project developers and investors receive a number of legal-administrative and financial advantages in the development of vacant and underused industrial estates. By doing so, the Flemish Government wants to encourage them to reuse preferably abandoned sites (brownfields) instead of cutting down new areas (greenfields) for the development of industrial activities, housing or recreation.弗拉芒政府（Flemish Government）旨在通过与项目开发商及投资者签订契约，鼓励并推动废弃工业园区（即俗称棕地（brownfields））的再开发。通过此类契约，项目开发商与投资者在开发闲置且未充分利用的工业园区过程中，可获得多项法律行政与金融层面的优惠。弗拉芒政府借此希望引导相关方优先复用废弃场地（棕地），而非为开展工业活动、住宅开发或休闲项目而开垦全新的绿地（greenfields）区域。
