| description |
Special Economic Zones have played an
important role in the economic growth of many developing and
advanced-developing nations, including Bangladesh, Brazil,
India, Republic of Korea, Thailand, Turkey and Vietnam.
These zones provide tailored infrastructure and business
services, and they have become a successful model for
large-scale job creation, transfer of skills and technology,
export diversification, and industrial development led by
foreign direct investment. In the next era of industrial
zone development, sustainability and eco-industrial growth
play paramount roles in minimizing environmental and social
risks while generating profits for firms. It has become
urgent to explore these models and to understand the
contexts in which they can tackle the environmental and
ecological challenges of our times while retaining their
role as production hubs and growth centers. This report,
based primarily on a global conference Eco-Industrial Parks
(EIP) 2015, held in Seoul, Republic of Korea in October
2015, provides the latest thinking on eco-industrial parks,
bringing together experiences from different countries and
providing a vision on how these initiatives can be scaled up
or mainstreamed. It will provide policy makers with insight
conceptualizing EIPs and what different factors need to be
considered in putting together an EIP program. The report
builds the basis for further development of guidelines and
step-by-step approaches on how to develop a national program
on EIPs. |
