Samenvatting:
Ecopadev is the name of a project of the European Commission withinthe programme of "Energy, environment and sustainable development",
key aspect 4: City of tomorrow and the cultural heritage. The project
seeks to promote a change in urban planning policy of industrial and
business areas, to reach greater sustainability, improve quality of
life and enhance eco-efficiency, by the development of a decision-making
tool and methodology based on Eco-industrial parks development strategy.
Almost 80% of European inhabitants live in urban areas and are, therefore,
affected by the quality of living conditions in cities. The continuous
economic expansion has produced many problems related to unsuitable
planning of cities. Important topics are: Industrial areas surrounded
by residential areas, Traffic congestion, Unsuitable environmental management,
Lack of data for decision making by local authorities, Energy consumption
and Social problems like unemployment due to the change of economical
activities, from primary industry to services etc. Institutes of five
European countries are working together to gather data of successful
examples of sustainable industrial parks in order to disseminate and
apply knowledge about the above-mentioned items. The Energy Research
Centre of the Netherlands (ECN) is one of the participating institutes.
After a literature and Internet search, three eco-industrial parks in
the United Kingdom have been selected: · Knowsley Industrial Park ·
The Surrey Research Park · Crewe Business Park Local authorities and
industrial parks have been contacted to exchange experiences about the
subject. The following report will give you the results of this inventory.
These 3 parks have been studied making use of the questionnaire, which
is added, as an annex to this report.
