| Long description: |
The Megasite Management Toolsuite – MMT is a software solution for consultants, authorities and investors involved in the planning and assessment of revitalisation options for brownfields and megasites.
The integrated assessment of possible alternatives for redeveloping a site helps to design sustainable and economically attractive options maximising benefits from the existing planning scope. MMT results facilitate a common approach and agreement among stakeholders.
The MMT unites and coherently links several software modules:
• a GIS-based data management module
• a graphical user interface (GUI) providing control of all input data and graphing capabilities for analysis of results
• a planning module to create land use plans
• a module to locate and quantify conflicts of environmental targets of planned land use with existing contamination in soil and groundwater
• an integrated assessment module.
Application of the MMT highlights economically attractive, sustainable ways in which megasites can be redeveloped in accordance with existing guidelines and regulations.
The integrated assessment of the particular revitalisation options addresses major aspects, such as the estimation of development costs, a market oriented economic evaluation, and the assessment of the sustainability of the land use option.
An overview on the structure and functions of the MMT offers the MMT User's Guide.
