Industrial Estates

According to the United Nations Environment Programme, “a large tract of land, subdivided and developed for the use of several companies in close proximity to use simultaneously, with a shared infrastructure.” Other terms for these include, industrial parks, industrial zones, export processing zones, business parks, industrial development zones, and eco-industrial parks. All industrial estates share two common characteristics: co-location of firms and a coordinated management structure.
