In brief
UNIDO is the specialized agency of the United Nations that promotes industrial development for poverty reduction, inclusive globalization and environmental sustainability.
The mandate of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is to promote and accelerate inclusive and sustainable industrial development in developing countries and economies in transition.

In brief
UNIDO aspires to reduce poverty through inclusive and sustainable industrial development. All countries should have the opportunity to grow a flourishing productive sector, to increase their participation in international trade and to safeguard their environment.
Inclusive and sustainable industrial development (ISID) means that:
• Every country achieves a higher level of industrialization in their economies, and benefits from the globalization of markets for industrial goods and services.
• No one is left behind in benefiting from industrial growth, and prosperity is shared among women and men in all countries.
• Broader economic and social growth is supported within an environmentally sustainable framework.
• Unique knowledge and resources are combined of all relevant development actors to maximize the development impact of ISID.

NATIONAL SCALE: Convergence to neo-liberal policies dismantlement of the welfare state
Urban competitiveness is increasingly important:

ICT: making the world flat? Not really.
GLOBALIZATION: outsourcing
In the developed countries, old industrial centers such as Detroit (USA), or the Ruhr (GERMANY) are in crisis Innovative clusters however, such as the Silicon Valley are thriving.

What is an Eco-Industrial Park?
EIP is a community of manufacturing and service businesses seeking enhanced environmental and economic performance by collaborating in the management of environmental and reuse issues. By working together the community of businesses seeks a collective benefit that is greater than the sum of the individual benefits each company would realize if it optimized its individual performance only.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)

Contribute to the economic and environmental well-being of the community

Improve the economic performance of the participating companies
Minimize the companies’ environmental impacts
The three objectives of an EIP are to:

Three types of Eco-Industrial Parks:

Top-down EIPs refer to planned Eco-Industrial Parks from scratch by a private, nongovernmental, or public authority; some EIPs in China are Top-down EIPs.
Bottom-up EIPs refer to industrial parks that have independently transformed themselves into EIPs. Kalundborg in Denmark is the most famous bottom-up EIP.
Retrofitted EIPs refer to industrial parks that were transformed into EIPs thanks to the actions of a private, nongovernmental, or public authority. Retrofitted EIPs are the most common types of EIPs.

How to achieve the Eco-Industrial Parks:

Industrial Ecology – Byproduct exchanges
Information technologies – (GIS) geographic information system
Clean energy and efficient water management
Efficient EIP management
Industries - adopt energy efficiency production models
16 16
The concept of Eco-Industrial Park is the by-product of two powerful ideas: sustainability and industrial ecology. However, even though EIPs are supposed to be primarily based on an environmental and social agenda, the primary driver for eco-industrial parks is financial benefits.

Industrial parks have been essential in Viet Nam’s economic transformation
1991 The first industrial park opens in HCMC, today there are 289 industrial parks in Viet Nam
Industrial parks represent 40 % of the total exports
40%
However, there is an impact on the environment. 91 industrial parks have not constructed a central waste water treatment Employees suffer occupational hazards such as bronchitis… Water, seawater and groundwater pollution Negative effects on agriculture

The first Eco-Industrial Parks in Viet Nam In 2015, launch of the project on Eco-Industrial parks in Viet Nam, the three-years project is funded by GEF and SECO and implemented by UNIDO and MPI. UNIDO is retrofitting three existing industrial into eco-Industrial parks, they have been chosen due to their diverse industrial base and their proximity to unique ecosystem Red River Basin and Mekong delta. They are also located in three distinct regions, North, Center, and South, so that the EIP concept can spread to every Vietnamese province.

“The 20th century urban planning represents a reaction to the evils of the 19th century city.” The 21th century urban planning is thus a reaction of the evils of the 20th century. Peter Hall (1988).

Wrap-up:
Cities have more power today due to the relative decline of countries’ sovereignty. The right local economic strategy depends on the country’s stage of economic development.
Viet Nam is the middle-income country, the focus has to be on innovation and sustainable growth.
The local economic strategy has to deliver financial benefits when planning for sustainable urban developments in order to be viable in the long-run.
Eco-Industrial Parks and Innovation Districts have to not only be environmentally sound but also have to bring financial and social benefits to the industries, companies, and wider community.
