6.5

• Goal:

  (Economic Growth)Stable development of local economy

  (Environmental conservation)Minimize the environmental problems caused by the manufacturing industry

  (Social progress )Everyone has a chance to take part in & a fair share from industrial development
• Approach:

  (Economic Growth)Provide jobs & income to a community

  (Environmental conservation)Use fewer pollutants & produce fewer waste/ less waste during production

  (Social progress )Provide opportunities to a different social groups & share benefits of industrial develop
• Host area(ZDR,China) Measure E.g. passing pollution-control laws:

  ①force polluting industries to move out

  ②pass strict pollution-control laws

  ③build sewage treatment works (①-③ mitigating the pollution problems)

  ④Focus on the development of high-tech industries

  ⑤provide training to factory workers to work in high-tech & tertiary industries

  ⑥provide incentives to encourage the use of clean technologies with higher productivity(④-⑥ encourage the development of high-value added and cleaner manufacturing industries）
• Sustainability:

  (Economic Growth)①-③the cleaner environment attracts investment ④-⑥the productivity of these industries is higher & generate higher

  (Environmental conservation)①-③ease pollution problems ④-⑥industries usually cleaner & cause less pollution

  (Social progress ) ①-③improve the quality of living ④-⑥workers higher income( so hv higher quality of living) & improve skill/education) level of labour force & cleaner environment = higher quality of living
• Home area(Great Lakes Region,USA) Measure:

  E.g. re-training workers to work in high-tech industries

  ①provide incentives to attract new investment in the new industry e.g.Tax reduction

  ②redevelop the oil industrial area into high-tech car-making centers with a pleasant environment

  ③invest a lot of money to improve the infrastructure,e.g.Rail and telecommunication networks

  ④Re-train workers to help them cope with the new production technologies

  ⑤invest more in R&D on production technologies
• Sustainability:

  (Economic Growth) Higher productivity & higher prices of products

  (Environmental conservation) High-tech production methods are usually cleaner

  (Social progress ) Higher skills+ education level of labour force & more opportunities to workers in the course of economic development & workers hv higher income & cleaner environment+ higher quality of living
• 5.1 -industrial development related to economic development & environmental quality

  -when industries are developing, economic growth should go in line with environmental conservation+ social progress
• 5.2-for host area/countries, the major problems caused by industrial relocation are environmental.

  -the car-making industry in Great Lakes Region has been reviving since late 2000s after a significant decline

  -the MDCs hv higher education+ technologies levels

  -they can develop both manufacturing + labour force in high-tech and high-skilled dtrections
