Dr Nigel Moore represented the National Brownfield Institute at the UK Brownfield Regeneration Summit 2025, delivering a presentation focused on the growing opportunities for artificial intelligence across the brownfield and construction sectors.
The summit brought together professionals from across the industry to explore the challenges, technologies and emerging approaches shaping the future of brownfield regeneration in the UK.
Make it stand out
Exploring the Role of AI in Brownfield Regeneration
During his presentation, Dr Moore highlighted how artificial intelligence and data-led technologies could help transform the way brownfield sites are understood, assessed and brought back into productive use.
With significant volumes of information involved in brownfield development, including site history, environmental data, planning information and ground conditions, advances in AI have the potential to support faster analysis and more informed decision-making.
The presentation also explored how greater use of digital technologies could help organisations identify opportunities, understand risk and improve efficiency across the regeneration process.
Turning Data Into Better Decisions
Brownfield regeneration is increasingly a data-driven challenge.
By making better use of existing information and emerging technologies, the sector has an opportunity to build a clearer picture of potential brownfield land and support more effective development strategies.
Events such as the UK Brownfield Regeneration Summit provide an important platform for researchers, industry professionals and decision-makers to share knowledge and consider how innovation can help address some of the sector’s biggest challenges.
Supporting Innovation Across the Sector
The National Brownfield Institute continues to explore how research, data and new technologies can support the future of brownfield regeneration and the wider built environment.
Through collaboration with industry and participation in events across the sector, NBI is helping to encourage new thinking around the tools and approaches that could shape the next generation of regeneration projects.
