    This article reviews the potential for brownfield sites to become the center of greening strategies for cities, including the creation of parks, playgrounds and trails. Ten brownfield- to - green space projects in Toronto were reviewed to identify the benefits of greening for communities and the role of the planning process in the greening projects.
