Starting point of this work package is the experience that large-scale investors and transport-oriented industries have quite special needs. These needs are hard to meet by the standard land-use planning on municipal level.  

The main objective of this work package is to elaborate and apply innovative land-use planning methods for special types of industrial use (e.g. large-scale industrial areas, logistic centres outside ports). We will  

• refine a planning method for large industrial areas, mainly based on results from the INTERREG project "South Baltic Arc",
• select locations for large-scale industrial areas near medium-sized cities,
• initiate intermunicipal planning processes and
• transfer our new experiences to international arenas.

The objectives will be achieved by activities like:  

• Seminars, international workshops, field trips, gain international expertise
• Identification of pilot locations and implementation of pilot projects
• Draft local planning principles and transferable recommendations for planning

• 11/07: Report of WP2 results - presented at the Final Conference in Schwerin
• 09/06: Results of the Jelgava meeting
• Experts presented methodology of industrial areas research
• 01/06: kick-off seminar in Greifswald (DE), field-trip to large-scale industrial area Lubmin (former nuclear power plant)
