Zoning that supports urban manufacturing may offer new opportunities to promote sustainability benefits ranging from improved job accessibility to reduced waste and resource use. However, industrial uses in urban areas face displacement from competing and conflicting uses. While the process of industrial gentrification is well documented, little work has examined how planning strategies and regulations affect urban manufacturing and its potential contribution to sustainable economic development. Drawing on a review of planning documents and interviews with food and beverage manufacturers, we examine how planning regulates the sustainability potential of manufacturing enterprises in Melbourne, Australia. In doing so, we contribute a deeper understanding of the ways that zoning affects urban manufacturing and the obstacles, tensions, and trade-offs urban planners face in creating a more sustainable local manufacturing base.

Sustainable production of pheromones now a reality
When the PHERA Project started, it was with an ambitious goal to prove that insect pheromones can be produced using a biological rather than a chemical process. A seeming subtlety, yet with the potential to propel agriculture in a much more sustainable direction involving less pesticides. Now, nearing its end, the EU-funded PHERA Project reveals just how far it has come. When modern insecticides were introduced around World War II, it was accompanied by optimism. Insecticides quickly helped to boost agricultural output for a growing global population. In time, however, concerns arose about their environmental and human impacts. Insecticides also became less effective as insects developed resistance to them. Instead, integrated pest management (IPM) became more prevalent.

Innovative technologies provide opportunities for making manufacturing and logistics operations cleaner and more resource-efficient. New technologies focus on lifecycle engineering and lifecycle management. This book will be valuable to both academics and practitioners who wish to deepen their knowledge of technology management. The book will cover technical, organizational, financial and social issues connected to the implementation of more sustainable technologies.
