Sustainable Management of Industrial Estates

author(s) : Jean-François Vallès - Marcel van Meesche
publisher: Syndicat CGSLB - Région Wallonne
language: Français

More info...

Les zones d'activités actuelles répondent de moins en moins aux besoins des entreprises (dont les exigences sont de plus en plus importantes), des travailleurs et au besoin de préservation de l'environnement. Il devient donc nécessaire de repenser l'aménagement et la gestion de ces espaces qui ont trop souvent été laissés à l'abandon et où personne n'a cherché à développer des liens.
La mise en place d'une démarche de gestion durable sur ces territoires est l'une des réponses possibles. Il s'agit d'une approche qui vise à favoriser, à travers la promotion de nouveaux partenariats, la mise en place d'une gestion collective des services, des besoins et de l'emploi. Les trois facteurs du développement durable (économie, social et environnement)étant au coeur du processus.
Cette brochure, réalisée pour le syndicat CGSLB, présente une démarche de gestion durable, des exemples d'expériences réussies et des outils participatifs comme les Ecocartes Zones d'Activités.
