Risk Communication

The public is a key stakeholder group in most brownfield regeneration projects, and can have a strong impact on the success, acceptance and support of such projects. Communication is an essential tool in managing the public as a stakeholder group, and key to reducing fear, negative responses and public resistance.

This guide looks at key specific issues the brownfield industry faces when communicating with the public.
