Developing new decision-making tools to promote the sustainable development in european cities based on eco-industrial park strategy

Objective

The sustainable development is a European strategy to promote the competitiveness and growth, but preserving natural resources and improving quality of life conditions. The European objectives require efforts oriented to develop tools and management systems involving industry, administration and citizens. The ECOPADEV project is focused in developing decision-making tools for local authorities to improve town planning and local living conditions. Local authorities are an important catalyst to achieve sustainable development objectives, but in order to facilitate the application and suitability of these tools, the project will use an approach through Eco-industrial parks development in cities, as a potential strategy to join industry, citizens and administration efforts, integrating environmental and socio-economic aspects.
