| greenfield development | новое строительство (From OxfordEconomics: A factory erected on a previously undeveloped site, as contrasted with extending or converting an existing plant. Greenfield development allows firms to avoid the congestion and pollution problems of the areas around many old sites. It also allows an old plant to continue in use while its successor is being built. A disadvantage of greenfield development is that it may be necessary to invest in providing new sites with power, transport and other facilities already in place in an old site. Greenfield developments are also liable to costly delays through planning objections from prospective neighbours and environmentalists who prefer greenfield sites to remain green fields. From OxfordBusinessAndManagement: A housing or industrial development on a virgin site in the country. Alexander Demidov) |
