Lurin Eco-Industrial Park
How can an eco-industrial park forge a community?
Lurin, Peru
Schematic Design
EIPs are an economic development model based on cooperation to increase productivity, improve resource management, and enhance environmental sustainability. While there are over 300 EIPs in operation worldwide, none exist yet in Peru.
The Lurin EIP masterplan superimposes a layer that encourages community building and innovation, generating a green network across the entire area.
Our design for the Lurin Eco-Industrial Park integrates nearly 400 hectares of industrial areas with a green network of roads and parks that function as a waste-to-energy system to reduce pollution and recycle surplus manufacturing waste. The masterplan develops a series of concentric rings that integrate with the existing topography. Each ring connects to an interlocking chain of bio-based facilities and industrial zones that manage energy, water, waste, and services.
Industrial, commercial, and community areas are considered as a whole, ensuring a balance that enhances environmental, economic, and social performance.
Ultimately, the aim is to let clients be more than just tenants and instead become members of a community that helps Peru grow responsibly and inclusively.
Lurin Eco-Industrial Park allows businesses to cooperate to reduce waste and pollution, efficiently share resources, help achieve sustainable development, increase economic gains, and improve environmental quality.
