Brownfield redevelopment projects must prioritize environmental restoration, aiming to rehabilitate ecosystems, manage pollution, and promote sustainable green infrastructure. The Code advocates minimizing ecological impacts and restoring natural habitats wherever feasible.

Projects should actively involve local communities to ensure development aligns with their cultural, social, and economic needs. By enhancing public access, supporting inclusion, and considering community voices, the Code strives to create vibrant, accessible spaces that benefit everyone.

Each redevelopment project should be financially sound and contribute to local economic growth. Through job creation, local business development, and long term economic resilience, the IBC emphasizes a sustainable approach to brownfield investment.

Adopting innovative, energy reactive technologies is crucial in IBC compliant projects. Developments should emphasize energy efficiency, reduce resource consumption, and remain adaptable to future urban requirements.
