This paper describes how Belgium was one of the first European countries to become industrialized and the initial industrialization caused numerous soil and groundwater contaminations that became a major issue of concern for the redevelopment of former industrial areas. Real-estate developers are familiar with the costs for demolishing and redeveloping industrial areas, but less with the cost due to soil contamination. This paper will identify two types of costs associated with the contamination: (1) the cost for the remediation (removing risks) and (2) the cost for treatment of the less contaminated soil during construction works (redevelopment). Due to these important cost factors, the need to assess them more reliably becomes more important. To address this issue the GEMS (Geographic Environmental/Economical Management System) tool was developed. The integration of 3D geo-statistics and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) in the development of the GEMS brownfield redevelopment tool resulted in a flexible instrument to minimize the remediation costs in the function of spatial planning. The developed methodology will aid in a better understanding of the influences of spatial planning on remediation costs. Real-estate calculation modules are under development and will be added to the GEMS tool to allow investment and profit evaluation.
