An industrial park , also known as industrial estate or trading estate , is an area zoned and planned for the purpose of industrial development . An industrial park can be thought of as a more heavyweight version of a business park or office park, which has offices and light industry , rather than heavy industry . Industrial parks are notable for being relatively simple to build; they often feature speedily erected single-space steel sheds, occasionally in bright colours.
25-883: Seletar Aerospace Park is an industrial park in Singapore catering to the aerospace industries . Located in Seletar , the S$ 60 million plan to develop 140 hectares of land adjacent to Seletar Airport will further strengthen Singapore's position as an aviation hub. The development of the new aerospace park is geared towards delivering additional space for industry expansion, and complement existing aerospace activities at Changi North and Loyang . Seletar Aerospace Park will host an integrated cluster of activities such as aerospace maintenance , repair and overhaul (MRO); design and manufacturing of aerospace systems and components; business and general aviation activities, and an aviation campus for
50-543: A North American industrial park is a water tower , which helps to hold enough water to meet the park's demands and for firefighting purposes, and also advertises the industrial park and locality, as usually the community's name and logo are painted onto its surface. This idea of setting land aside through this type of zoning has several purposes: Benchmarking helps to rank industrial parks based on various criteria, including performance, investment, environmental protection, social responsibility, and governance (ESG). For
75-405: A bespoke / customized house or mansion for their family. Poor urban people lived in shantytowns or in tenements built for rental. Single-family houses were seldom built on speculation , that is for future sale to residents not yet identified. When cities and the middle class expanded greatly and mortgage loans became commonplace, a method that had been rare became commonplace to serve
100-417: A day. Many techniques which had made the automobile affordable made housing affordable: standardization of design and small, repetitive assembly tasks, advertising, and a smooth flow of capital. Mass production resulted in a similar uniformity of product, and a more comfortable lifestyle than cramped apartments in the cities. With the advent of government-backed mortgages, it could actually be cheaper to own
125-499: A house in a new residential development than to rent. As with other products, continual refinements appeared. Curving streets, greenbelt parks, neighborhood pools, and community entry monumentation appeared. Diverse floor plans with differing room counts, and multiple elevations (different exterior "looks" for the same plan) appeared. Developers remained competitive with each other on everything, including location, community amenities, kitchen appliance packages, and price. Today,
150-537: A nearby highway, and with only the basic utilities and roadways. Public transportation options may be limited or non-existent. Industrial parks in developing countries such as Pakistan face a myriad of additional difficulties. This includes the availability of a skilled workforce and the clustering together of radically different industrial sectors (pharmaceuticals and heavy engineering, for example), which often leads to unfavorable outcomes for quality centered industries. An industrial park specializing in biotechnology
175-547: A smaller FAR ( floor area ratio ) than business, commercial or industrial/manufacturing zoning. The area may be large or small. In certain residential areas, especially rural , large tracts of land may have no services whatever, such that residents seeking services must use a motor vehicle or other transportation, so the need for transportation has resulted in land development following existing or planned transport infrastructure such as rail and road. Development patterns may be regulated by restrictive covenants contained in
200-662: A special zone for many industries (mixed OIZs). Not every industry is allowed to operate in organized industrial zones. Residential area A residential area is a land used in which housing predominates, as opposed to industrial and commercial areas . Housing may vary significantly between, and through, residential areas. These include single-family housing , multi-family residential , or mobile homes . Zoning for residential use may permit some services or work opportunities or may totally exclude business and industry. It may permit high density land use or only permit low density uses. Residential zoning usually includes
225-749: A typical residential development in the United States might include traffic calming features such as a slowly winding street , dead-end road , or looped road lined with homes. Suburban developments help form the stereotypical image of a "suburban America" and are generally associated with the American middle-class . Most offer homes in a narrow range of age, price, size and features, thus potential residents having different needs, wishes or resources must look elsewhere. Some residential developments are gated communities or residential communities . Criticisms of residential developments may include
250-453: Is real estate development for residential purposes. Some such developments are called a subdivision , when the land is divided into lots with houses constructed on each lot. Such developments became common during the late nineteenth century, particularly in the form of streetcar suburbs . In previous centuries, residential development was mainly of two kinds. Rich people bought a townlot, hired an architect and/or contractor, and built
275-403: Is called a biotechnology industrial park. It may also be known as a bio-industrial park or eco-industrial cluster. Flatted factories exist in cities like Singapore and Hong Kong , where land is scarce. These are typically similar to flats , but house individual industries instead. Flatted factories have cargo lifts and roads that serve each level, providing access to each factory lot. India

#1732779466435300-430: The deeds to the properties in the development and may also result from or be reinforced by zoning . Restrictive covenants are not easily changed when the agreement of all property owners (many of whom may not live in the area) is required. The area so restricted may be large or small. Residential areas may be subcategorized in the concentric zone model and other schemes of urban geography . Residential development
325-665: The Park, slated for completion by end 2009. The facility will complement its existing facility at Derby by concentrating on the assembly and testing of large civil engines such as the Trent 1000 and Trent XWB . It is expected to provide employment for about 330 people, out of a total of 1,600 employees based in Singapore. On 15 February 2015, jet engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney officially opened its first Singapore manufacturing facility. Airbus Asia Training Centre moved from Singapore Airlines 's training centre to its new location in
350-622: The Special Economic Zones (SEZs) Policy was announced in April 2000. A special economic zone (SEZ) is a geographical region that has economic laws that are more liberal than a country's domestic economic laws. India has specific laws for its SEZs.The category 'SEZ' covers a broad range of more specific zone types, including free-trade zones (FTZ), export processing zones (EPZ), free zones (FZ), industrial estates (IE), free ports , urban enterprise zones and others. Usually,
375-414: The airport's runway and upgrading of avionics systems to allow access for bigger aircraft. Aerospace design and manufacturing companies and training schools were given additional space with new roads and infrastructure. The development of the park would cost more than S$ 60 million and done in phases. The park is expected to create 10,000 jobs, predominantly skilled and technical positions and double
400-622: The edges of, or outside, the main residential area of a city , and are normally provided with good transportation access, including road and rail . One such example is the large number of industrial estates located along the River Thames in the Thames Gateway area of London . Industrial parks are usually located close to transport facilities, especially where more than one transport modes coincide, including highways , railroads , airports and ports . Another common feature of
425-775: The expanding demand for home ownership. Post–World War II economic expansion in major cities of the United States, especially New York City and Los Angeles produced a demand for thousands of new homes, which was largely met by speculative building. Its large-scale practitioners disliked the term "property speculator" and coined the new name "residential development" for their activity. Entire farms and ranches were subdivided and developed, often with one individual or company controlling all aspects of entitlement (permits), land development (streets and grading), infrastructure (utilities and sewage disposal), and housing. Communities like Levittown, Long Island or Lakewood south of Los Angeles saw new homes sold at unprecedented rates—more than one
450-547: The goal of a structure is to increase foreign direct investment by foreign investors, typically an international business or a Multi National Corporation (MNC) . Notable SEZs in India An organized industrial zone ( Turkish : Organize Sanayi Bölgesi ) is a kind of special economic zone in Turkey . These zones were legislated for between 2000 and 2007, and may bring together related (OIZs for function) industries or just be
475-429: The manufacturing companies located in industrial parks, the performance of industrial park operators is important, as the costs for infrastructure and services charged by the industrial park operator is a serious factor for the competitiveness of the manufacturing companies. Different industrial parks fulfill these criteria to differing degrees. Many small communities have established industrial parks with only access to
500-414: The master-planning and infrastructure improvements for Seletar Aerospace Park, in consultation with other government agencies. The development of the new aerospace hub is expected to take care of the industry's land needs for at least 10 years. A master plan for Seletar Aerospace Park was announced by JTC Corporation on 26 June 2007. The Seletar Airport was upgraded to support the park, including lengthening
525-416: The output of aerospace sector, from 2006's recordof S$ 6.3 billion. Existing trees and open fields are conserved as much as possible and more than 30 distinctive trees will not be cut down. 204 of the existing 378 black-and-white bungalows will be conserved as well. 131 units would be used for residential purposes while the rest converted into aerospace training schools and food and beverage outlets. For

#1732779466435550-471: The park on 18 April 2016. The Seletar Aerospace Park has several buildings from the British colonial days, that have been preserved and revamped into dining outlets offering different styles of fares, from European to local dishes. Thirty-two colonial houses have been conserved and redeveloped as part of 'The Oval at Seletar Aerospace Park'. Industrial park Industrial parks are usually located on
575-605: The same reason, As of 2016, according to a brochure published by JTC , there were already more than 60 MNCs and local companies in the region, with over 45,700 aircraft movements at the airport annually. The first few tenants moved into their new premises in the third quarter of 2010. Among the front runners are Singapore Technologies Aerospace , Jet Aviation , Airbus Helicopters South East Asia and EADS Innovation Works , all with plans to expand their current facilities at Seletar. On 20 November 2007, Rolls-Royce plc announced plans to build its first Asian aero engine facility in
600-564: The training of pilots, aviation professionals and technical personnel. In May 2006, the Singapore Government together with the Economic Development Board (EDB) and JTC Corporation unveiled the plan of a new aerospace park. Decision was made when Singapore's aerospace industry has seen soaring growth potential and also a strong demand for aviation-related services. JTC Corporation was asked to carry out
625-654: Was one of the first countries in Asia to recognize the effectiveness of the Export Processing Zone (EPZ) model in promoting exports, with Asia's first EPZ set up in Kandla in 1965. In order to overcome the shortcomings experienced on account of the multiplicity of controls and clearances; absence of world-class infrastructure, and an unstable fiscal regime and with a view to attract larger foreign investments in India,
