This in-depth eight-part series scrutinizes the remediation, redevelopment, and reuse of brownfields. Footage of Phoenix Award-winning projects from all around the country is combined with more than 150 interview segments with government specialists, state brownfields coordinators, municipal and community leaders, developers, insurance companies, engineering and remediation companies, and legal experts for a well-rounded look at how America is recovering its blighted real estate. Produced by John W. Sutherlin, Ph.D., through a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. 8-part series, 27-44 minutes each.
