[en] Literature points out possible pathways to address brownfield sites, including reflections on sustainable development. Meanwhile, little attention is paid to the issue of ownership (in a wide sense). Who are the stakeholders? What are their positions and their engagements regarding these lands ? Through the study of six municipalities of Bucovina (Romania) and Wallonia (Belgium), the authors show that, beyond differences due to political and historical context (which shaped the mining history and the issue of reconversion), general lessons learnt can be identified.
