SEPA

Sustainable and Equipped Productive Areas

Project objectives:

The SEPA project aimed at transferring, through feasibility studies and investment attraction, the experience gained by the Prato industrial area (IT), creating infrastructures and centralised services to improve the environmental, economic and social performances of the target areas (rational water use, management of induced mobility, clean energy production and waste management), according to EMS/EMAS standards.

Project activities:

  • Implementation of regional stakeholders networks for the socio-economic and environmental reconversion of industrial areas;
  • Development of a transnational model for the sustainable management of productive areas with a low environmental, economic and social impact;
  • Identification and selection of the active or under-construction industrial areas where the pilot model of sustainable economic development could be implemented;
  • Feasibility study aimed at defining the model of development/reconversion of the pilot areas and intervention planning;
  • Investment attraction in the target areas with the organisation of a transnational conference/seminar.

Expected results:

  • To achieve and share methodologies and procedures needed to realise and manage industrial areas in an socio-economically and environmentally sustainable way;
  • To development of a new model for sustainable production areas;
  • To improve the abilities to plan and organise industrial sites and in particular to project and realise production areas according to new sustainability parameters and indicators;
  • To create a transnational network of pilot areas in order to transfer and guide the transformation process of the production sites at the international level.
