As far as larger tracts of land go, yes. Usually the flat stretches along the river fronts. And these are the areas which are being developed currently. Former industrial land within city limits, like the area you highlight, has all been remediated.

The area in your link is being termed “Hazelwood Green”, which I think is a stupid, cliched, “real estate” name, but that’s another matter. There has been significant redevelopment on that site already, but clearly there is a lot of empty land where a massive steel mill once stretched. It’s definitely the only site like this in the city limits... that being such a big, continuous stretch.
