Abstract

Within the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution, a formal model for attitudes of decision makers is applied to the study of brownfield redevelopment projects. The formation of coalitions is examined in conjunction with attitudes, to illustrate what opportunities for cooperation exist within brownfield redevelopment. Combining attitudes and coalition formation within the graph model allows for a more complete understanding of how cities, developers and the general public affect the success of brownfield renovation projects through their positive and negative interactions.
