Action 2

Help communities that want to create eco-industrial parks by making relevant information available, allowing flexibility in permitting and other regulatory areas while ensuring that environmental goals are met or exceeded, and enacting mixed-use zoning that allows for eco-industrial parks that have low or zero emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants.

Time has changed our understanding of eco-industrial parks

On August 23rd, 2007 Marian Chertow says:
The intent of this reco is still useful, but since the 1990s we have learned that "eco-industrial park" is too rigid a concept and limits who can participate in the environmental benefits. IT would be worthwhile to rethink this goal in light of some of our research at Yale - for example, see http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdfplus/10.1162/jiec.2007.1110 - an article I wrote which explores the sites identified by the PCSD, why they did not work, but what could could be successful in creating opportunities for companies through resource sharing. We now see the opportuntites for resource sharing are widespread but not always obivous.
