Brownfield sites are sites which have been built on before, such as Bluewater Shopping centre was built on a brownfield site, since the site used to be a chalk quarry.
because they harm the environment
Brownfields is a term used to describe abandoned or non-used sections of commercial or industrial land. This land is available for reuse at a later date, although some land may be contaminated.
Brownfields are abandoned or underutilized properties where the presence of hazardous substances complicates redevelopment. These sites pose environmental, health, and safety risks due to contamination, which can lead to soil and water pollution. Additionally, they hinder economic development by blighting neighborhoods and reducing property values. Cleaning up and redeveloping brownfields can be costly and time-consuming, making them a significant challenge for urban planning and revitalization efforts.

Yes, there are some in: Pelham, Concord, Exeter, Portsmouth, Nashua, Manchester, Milton, Merrimack, Conway, Londonderry, etc.
Brownfields are abandoned, idled, or under-used commercial, industrial, and institutional properties where redevelopment and reuse are complicated by light to moderate contamination from hazardous substances and wastes. These properties are most often in urban areas previously used by industrial and commercial operations that generated waste materials.
The four types of sites that have favored growth of community land use are agricultural lands, open spaces or parks, vacant lots, and industrial areas or brownfields. These sites often provide opportunities for community members to come together, engage in activities, and create shared spaces for the community.
