This paper explores brownfield renewal as a measure of sustainable land use. The aim
was to highlight the brownfield redevelopment as a strategy for mitigation of negative effects of
climate changes. Emphasis was put on innovative concepts in brownfield redevelopment, which
involve land recycling, application of ecological and sustainable solutions. Main case studies are
from Austria. Their analysis and evaluation show which concepts and strategies are used in
successful redevelopment projects, and which strategies give the best results. This shows that
brownfield renewal can have positive effects on regulation and mitigation of climate changes.
Finally, guidelines for climate changes accountable and redevelopment will be derived. Research
methodology is qualitative and combined, comprising of data analysis, case studies (field work,
interviews with relevant actors), analysis of case studies and evaluation according to previously
defined criteria, synthesis of results and gen...eralisation and interpretation of results.
