Industrial estates are clearly related to urban planning, regional planning and national planning, and as such they form one of many tools for implementing national objectives. •It aimed at expanding, strengthening and locating small or medium scale industries as part of a broad program of industrialization.

1. Planning of Industrial Estate

2. Definition and Concept
• A factory can be defined as a place within which persons are
employed in manual labor in processes concerned with
making an article or part of an article, altering, repairing,
ornamenting, finishing, cleaning, washing or demolishing an
article, or adapting an article for sale.
An industrial estate can be defined as
• An organized grouping of factories provided with certain
common services and utilities, laid down in advance of
demand, and established as a result of enterprise or planning
by an independent organization.

3. Definition and Concept
• A trading estate is an industrial township
except that there are no houses and people
merely work there.
• It will have banks, post offices, restaurants,
workers canteens, passenger omnibus
stations, possibly a labour exchange, medical
services and small shops.

4. Definition and Concept
• Industrial estates are clearly related to urban
planning, regional planning and national planning,
and as such they form one of many tools for
implementing national objectives.
• It aimed at expanding, strengthening and locating
small or medium scale industries as part of a broad
program of industrialization.

5. Definition and Concept
• Industrial estates are specified areas zoned for industrial activity in which
infrastructure such as roads, power, and other utility services, is provided
to facilitate the growth of industries and to minimize impacts on the
environment.
The infrastructure may include
• effluent treatment;
• solid and toxic waste collection, treatment, and disposal;
• air pollution and effluent monitoring;
• technical services on pollution prevention;
• quality management (quality assurance and control); and
• laboratory services.
There should be appropriate emergency preparedness and prevention
plans and liaison with local fire and emergency services.

6. Development Plan of an Industrial
Estate
• Industrial estate development plan covers issues such as:
• Details of the location
• Mix of industries on the site (to ensure that the industries are
compatible—for example that neighbors of food processing plants do not
pose a risk of contaminating food products)
• Layout and design
• Transport services
• Fuel storage
• Air quality management
• Water quality management, including the provision of common effluent
treatment facilities, as required
• Solid waste management, including recycling

7. Development Plan of an Industrial
Estate
• Management of hazardous materials and hazardous
wastes
• Noise control
• Occupational health and safety
• Hazard and emergency planning.
• Industrial estates should maintain safe distances from
residential areas for example, 100 meters for small
industries with minimal environmental hazard and at least
1 km for very polluting industries).
• The key environmental issues to be addressed in the
development plan should be identified through an
environmental assessment process.

8. Advantages of Industrial Estates
• Environmental benefits
• Good working conditions
• Advantage of economy of scales
• Benefits for industrialists
• Economic benefits for the authorities
• employment opportunities
• secure environment for the firms
• Stimulates new industries

9. Types of Industrial Estates
• In considering the size of industrial estate the
following four categories can be differentiated
• 1) small – up to 50 acres
• 2) medium – 51 - 100 acres
• 3) large – 101 – 500 acres
• 4) very large – over 500 acres

10. Size of Industrial Estate
While determining the size of an industrial estate we consider
• i) the amount of industrial employment that a town should
provide and
• ii) the scale of development
• An industrial estate may be large enough to achieve practical
economics of scale in the provision of services, special
buildings, and public utilities
• The estate should not reach the point where it would be
difficult and uneconomical to solve problems such as traffic
congestion, administration, water supply or sanitation.

11. Location of Industrial Estate
Some of the factors influencing the site selection are as follows
• Sufficient land
• Relationship with other land uses
• Topography
• Labor availability
• Climatic conditions
• Accessibility to road network
• Rail service
• Airports
• Water supply
• Disposal of waste

12. National Standards
• Space standards: 50 workers per acre
• Land use distribution:
• 1) factory plots = 60- 65 %
• 2) roads = 20- 25 %
• 3) open spaces = up to 10 %
• 4) admin and other buildings = 5-10 %
• Plot sizes: sizes may vary from 1500 sq ft to 50,000
sq ft depending on the size of the plant or it may be
decided on the basis of clients’ requirement.

13. Factors in planning the Layout
• Plan should aim to minimize the costs and obtain maximum efficiency of
operation
• Layout should seek to minimize the length of roads, utility lines, quantity
of earth moved and area in streets
• Acute angles should be avoided at important intersections
• Block length and lot depths should be adequate
• Free flow of truck traffic without rail track interference
• Rail tracks should be sited to cross minimum number of streets and reach
maximum number of sites
• Avoid to give odd shaped plots which would difficult to sold or rented
• Roads should be laid out according to contours with suitable parking
• Provide some zoning to segregate different types of industries where
nuisance and hazards may be involved

14. Zoning of Industrial Estate
• Special location requirement
• A zone for firms similar location needs
• Industries with similar space
• Non industrial facilities
• Special facilities

15. Examples of Industrial estates in
Pakistan
• Karachi industrial estate (4460 acres)
• Kotri industrial estate (917 acres)
• Hyderabad industrial estate (1264acres)
• Tando Adam industrial estate (150acres)
• Nooriabad industrial estate (5000 acres)
