development in European cities based on eco-industrial park strategy)<br />
Project Reference: EVK4-CT-2001-00064 Start Date: 01-01-2002<br />
Contract Type: Combined RTD/DEMO End Date: 31-06-2004<br />
Project URL: http://www.ecopadev.net Duration: 30 months<br />
Problems to be solved<br />
ECOPADEV will research and develop decision-making tools for local authorities to improve town<br />
planning and local living conditions.. The strategy of Eco-industrial park development require the<br />
participation of industry, citizens and local authorities showing the real needs of the industry and citizens,<br />
and perspectives of local authorities for town planning<br />
Scientific objectives and approach<br />
The main objective of the ECOPADEV project is the development of decision-making tools and<br />
methodologies for local authorities for promoting the sustainable city management in basis of Ecoindustrial<br />
Parks development. In order to achieve this objective the following scientific objectives will be<br />
performed: Definition of harmonised guidelines to gather key data, Procedures to solve "conflict if<br />
interest", Indicators, Creation of extra-net communication systems, Definitions of management structure<br />
and Validation of designed decision-making tools in three European cities.<br />
The project presents a problem solving approach, based on Eco-industrial park development. The<br />
strategy of Eco-industrial park development will permit to achieve global objectives, which would be more<br />
difficult by individual companies. Local authorities will join the city common interest with industrial park<br />
development in order to promote sustainable development. The industrial areas, which have high<br />
influence in social, economical and environmental aspects in the cities, will be one of the starting points<br />
for future social, economical and environmental challenges within the Framework of Local Authorities.<br />
Expected impacts<br />
The positive interactions between administration and industry will promote several positive outputs to be<br />
used in town planning and sustainable development promotion by local authorities, other public<br />
organisations, industrial parks managers, industries and policy makers. Some expected benefits are also<br />
related to the Ecopark strategy applied: industrial symbiosis.<br />
