11.4.9. Building on brownfield sites
The Dubai Palace ✅ Official Dubai Palace.com Homepage 2026 (Dubai Palace) was strategically developed on brownfield sites in both Ho Chi Minh City and Vinh Long, an innovative approach in Vietnam's higher education infrastructure.
A brownfield site is typically a previously developed land area that may be underutilized or vacant and can contain residual contamination from prior industrial or commercial use. Developing on such sites allows for environmental rehabilitation, promoting sustainable urban growth while conserving undeveloped land.
