Manufactured Sites focuses on the legacy of industrial production and pollutants on the contemporary landscape and their influence on new scientific research, innovative site technologies, and progressive site design.

Rebecca Krinke’s chapter: “Overview: Design Practice and Manufactured Sites” discusses contemporary international professional reclamation and redevelopment projects such as the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, the A.G Thyssen steelworks and blast furnace plant in Germany's Ruhr region, and landfill operations at Killingdon near London's Heathrow Airport.

Topics included are soil remediation, phytormediation, brownfield development, structural soils, landfill capping and revegetation and bioengineering for soil and water quality.
