Industrial ecology and regional development: Eco-industrial development as cluster policy

Deutz, Pauline; Gibbs, David

Abstract

Industrial ecology and regional development: eco-industrial development as cluster policy, Regional Studies. Aspects of industrial ecology fit closely with work in regional development investigating clustering, networking, and local economic development. However, there has been limited cross-fertilization between these bodies of literature. This paper uses an empirical focus on eco-industrial developments in the USA to postulate that industrial ecology can be viewed as a distinct cluster concept and to consider the implications of this for both industrial ecology and regional development policies.
