Industrial Estates towards Sustainable Development

Particularly industrial agglomerations in newly
industrialising countries come along with highly
concentrated, negative impacts on environment and
society. Industries urgently need to
rethink their strategies not least to sustain their
economic performance. How
can industrial areas in general and industrial
estates in particular contribute to a sustainable
development in theory and practice? The author
introductorily provides information on sustainable
and industrial development, how these two relate,
existing
concepts and implications for the industrial sector
in general and industrial estates in particular. On
this basis one industrial estate in central Java,
Indonesia is analysed in a participatory approach by
applying one of the instruments introduced. The
results are discussed in detail,
future scenarios and recommendations derived.
The paper addresses primarily practitioners working
in the field of industrial area management and
development in newly industrialising countries, both
proactive and supportive.

Particularly industrial agglomerations in newly industrialising countries come along with highly concentrated, negative impacts on environment and society. Industries urgently need to rethink their strategies not least to sustain their economic performance. How can industrial areas in general and industrial estates in particular contribute to a sustainable development in theory and practice? The author introductorily provides information on sustainable and industrial development, how these two relate, existing concepts and implications for the industrial sector in general and industrial estates in particular. On this basis one industrial estate in central Java, Indonesia is analysed in a participatory approach by applying one of the instruments introduced. The results are discussed in detail, future scenarios and recommendations derived. The paper addresses primarily practitioners working in the field of industrial area management and development in newly industrialising countries, both proactive and supportive.
