Multidisciplinary investigation of eco‐industrial parks

Abstract: Since the revelation of an industrial symbiosis in Denmark, researchers have attempted to draw out the patterns of success and replicate the Kalundborg model in brown‐ and greenfield eco‐industrial parks. Establishment of these parks is seen to offer hope to both industrialized and developing nations for achieving sustainable development objectives. This paper reviews the relevant literature and considers the relative usefulness of industrial ecology, systems science, and industrial network theory for understanding eco‐industrial parks. This multidisciplinary approach considers knowledge‐sharing techniques such as pattern languages as a mechanism for sharing best results. The paper closes with suggestions for the direction of further research. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Syst Eng 9:313–330, 2006
