Ecological and Economic Optimization of Industry Location in Large Cities

Abstract

It is presented a comparative analysis of measures on reducing urban air pollution by industrial enterprises using both engineering methods and the techniques of optimizing location of the sources of emissions with respect to residential areas. The role of location of enterprises increases for those parts of anthropogenic impacts that can not be reduced technologically, even when the best world standards are reached. On the base of analysis of the largest Urals' cities, it was revealed the degree of danger from each enterprise due to the existing territorial-planning structure. There were calculated also damage and the potential of reducing the impact by both technological and planning methods.
