Support Mechanism in Technopolis Toward Green Growth - Technopolis: Best Practices for Science and Technology Cities - page 117

3 Several Ways for the Technopolis to Support
Green Growth
The definition and basic functions of Technopolis tell that it supports and influence
Green Growth from the following aspects:
3.1 The Development of the Technopolis Shall Satisfy
the Requirements of Green Growth
The construction and development of Technopolis have a growing impact on the
region, with some of them becoming a major part of regional, or even national
economic growth. Take a high-tech zone in China for an example: in 2006, there
were 11 high-tech zones with a gross output value that contributed 20 % to that of
the city, 33 high-tech zones were with an industrial added value contributing 20 %
to that of the city, with 22 of them over 30 %. Therefore, whether the development
of the Technopolis supports the concept of Green Growth is deciding the possi-
bility of Green Growth in its city or region.
3.1.1 Case: Foxconn Science and Technology Park in Yingkou,
Liaoning, China
Located in the coastal industrial site of Yingkou, Foxconn Science and Technol-
ogy Park emphasizes ''green, science and technology, and culture,'' bearing in
mind the concept of sustainable development, aiming at establishing a park with
completed functions, flexible development, and intelligent and green environment.
Its features include:
Create an attractive environment for talents
Provide an ecological and landscape environment, meaning to create green
landscape systems among functional zones and buildings, dotted with running
water, so as to realize the ideal harmony between the architecture and the envi-
ronment with the park boasting the features of a real park, with tranquil greens,
singing followers, fragrant flowers, and fresh air.
Plan for the big picture with by-phase implementation
Overall planning shall be given to the road and piping in the functional area. The
park can be constructed by phase according to the priority of the production of the
factories so as to minimize the impact on the environment.
Take full advantage of environmental-protection technology
Reduce room temperature in the summer with the design of ventilation lane ways
so as to save air-con cost. Besides, a recycling system of rain is available in the
park, collecting the rain from the house and the ground in the reservoir for the use
of water scenery, greens, and car washing, so as to reduce water consumption.
