Article Title

 * Brownfield land (this is my choice)

Article Evaluation

 * Citations/references
 * the second, third, and fourth paragraph at the beginning have no citations
 * missing two citations in some locations, i.e., locations and contaminants section
 * a lot of missing citations in remediation strategies and barriers.
 * missing the reference from the national planning policy framework at the bottom
 * Neutrality
 * the use of the word innovative in remediation strategies seems bias. The word recent, or just saying remediation techniques would be more neutral. The sentence is then also repetitive because recent was stated already.
 * Equity Gap
 * Talk Page
 * started by a class
 * Spelling/structure errors
 * Article structure and layout
 * Canada section is very short under definition compared to united states. This could use more sources.
 * definitions is also missing countries that is listed in brownfield status by country section
