Brownfields, which can be found in urban or rural areas, present both challenges and opportunities for redevelopment due to potential environmental contamination. These places hold significant promise for urban revitalization, resource conservation, economic growth, and job openings. Their complexity, however, historical issues, and environmental challenges demand innovative approaches. This literature review serves three main objectives: Firstly, it explores the relationship between Geographic Information Systems (GIS)/Internet of Things (IoT) technology and brownfield transformation. It emphasizes GIS/IoT#x2019;s role in addressing environmental challenges, optimizing resource allocation, and sustainable redevelopment. Secondly, the review investigates the limitations of traditional assessment methods in brownfield rehabilitation, highlighting their inadequacy in capturing real-time environmental data. Thirdly, it offers insights into the benefits, challenges, and emerging trends for brownfield transformation, particularly focusing on GIS/IoT sensor integration. By achieving these objectives, this review contributes to the advancement of GIS/IoT technology in brownfield transformation, encouraging more effective and sustainable urban development and environmental remediation. It underlines the critical role of GIS and IoT in addressing environmental challenges while noticing traditional assessment methods#x2019; limitations. It covers brownfield evolution from the late 20th century to the present, relying on a diverse range of academic sources, both historical and recent, to provide a comprehensive overview of the topic.
