Research Background Sustainable Development “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs ” (WCED, 1987) An overarching set of objectives that can be used to help to guide the design and implementation of a wide range of strategies and programs

Spatial Dimensions of Sustainable Development World Continent country Region City Community

Sustainable Development Urban Sustainable Development City

Research Aim Aim To identify and assess the factors which determine the success or failure of the adopted by industrial activities which contribute to environmental management approaches urban sustainable development

Research Objectives 1. To identify and assess the influence exerted by the introduction of environmental management techniques of industrial activities upon urban sustainable development 2.To develop and apply theoretical and practical explanations for the variable progress of the contribution made by industrial activities to urban sustainable development 3.To develop and enable the introduction of appropriate methods and techniques which can assist in improving the contribution of industrial activities to urban sustainable development.

Use the case of industrial waste management Economic Benefits Reduce waste treatment cost energy saving Opportunities to Urban Sustainable Development Environmental benefits Reduce ecological effects Better environment Industrial Waste Management Social Benefits Improve the relationship and promote partnerships

New waste management approaches across the world Data Regulation Market-based Instruments “3R” Approach Eco-industry Waste Management Hierarchy

Integrated industrial waste management system

Different approaches to waste management systems in China

Waste Management Laws and Regulations in China National Environmental Protection Act Response and compliance to International Agreements National Solid Waste Pollution Prevention Act Medical Waste Management Regulation Nuclear Medical Waste Management Regulation Hazardous Waste Management Licenses Regulation Departmental rules, technology standard Industrial Waste Management Policy System

Is it possible to evaluate the chief commonalities and differences in the way industrial waste management options have been adopted in different cities? Method: Case Study Pilot case in the UK : Preston Positive case, Negative case and Average case in China

Main Case Study Methods Quantitative data collection Site survey Questionnaires Interviews Economic data Industry data Urban environmental management data Companies waste production and management data Waste Recycling Process Eco-industry cases Waste industry Waste landfill and incineration facilities To representative samples of local authorities, environment agencies, industry and waste industry etc Fixed-choice Semi-structured Informal Comment collection from key related organisations Main Case Study Methods

Main Comparative Points Management Organisation Structure Management tools to encourage industrial waste reduction Development of ecological industrial park Implementation of urban waste management plan Financial support from city government Amount of people (especially management staff) who knows waste management very well

Some Initial Ideas Education of waste management employees Coherence of planning and waste management strategy Encourage of better practice (e.g. performing waste analyses and inspections) providing employee training, addressing public concerns, maintaining important records and statistical data ………..
