The redevelopment of urban brownfields is a significant means of improving the quality of life and supporting urban regeneration. Where it is possible and appropriate, urban brownfield sites are being recycled into industrial, commercial, or residential properties which in turn yield social, environmental, and economic benefits. However, when conventional brownfield redevelopment is neither cost-effective nor feasible, urban brownfields can be restored as natural habitats with regard to attractive and biodiverse landscapes. The goal of this research is to identify and describe a set of design principles for brownfield phytostabilization that are accomplished through a review of existing literature. To illustrate the applicability of the principles, an urban site is selected and assessed based on its factors. The suggested principles are assessed for their contribution to urban ecological design.
