Numerous publications, tools and studies, delivered with UNIDO support, are directly or indirectly related to the development and implementation of eco-industrial parks. The rationale for this handbook is to bring together the technical experience of UNIDO in developing and implementing EIP projects as well as to provide demonstrated guidance in this area.
This handbook is intended to be applicable to:
• Industrial parks in various international contexts with core focus on transition and developing countries
• All development stages of industrial parks (e.g. scoping and concept planning, pre-feasibility and
feasibility studies, investment decisions, design and construction, operation, redesign and optimization)
• Industrial parks with different characteristics (e.g. types of industry sectors in park, park size, level of technology development, park management model)
