Searching for economic synergy and sustainability in Tehran metropolitan region

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Over the past few decades, urban areas have become hubs for economic activity, especially industrial activity, because of economies of scale and agglomeration. Lack of compliance with the environmental regulations and frameworks has led to environmental unsustainability in these regions over time, and Tehran Metropolitan Region (TMR) as one of the concentrations of industrial activities is encountering environmental issues these days. This study sought to determine the degree of environmental unsustainability as well as these locations' potential for economic synergy. In this study, economic synergy potentials and sustainability were implemented by Related Variety (RV), clustering, energy consumption, air pollution, and land use change (agriculture, vegetation, and built-up areas) indicators. The results of the study indicated that certain industries have contributed to unsustainability simultaneously; however, they had a high potential for economic synergy. Factors including the increase of industry production capacity, low technological level, and improper location of industrial parks and workshops in terms of economic synergy considerations, have led to increased distance among workshops and industrial parks in their supply and value chains. Therefore, for regional sustainable development, it would be prominent to employ cluster-based development according to RV and environmental policies including institutional transformation and innovative and green technologies.
