In line with its development vision of building a first-class provincial industrial park characterized by “green, ecological, low-carbon, and high-tech” features, the Yiyang High-Tech Industrial Park in Jiangxi adheres to high standards and a commitment to excellence. In its planning and construction, the park actively promotes the concept of “leveraging the existing mountainous terrain, minimizing disruption to the original ecosystem, establishing distinctive characteristics, and creating a refined environment to develop the park into a new urban district.”
In 2010, the Yiyang High-Tech Zone commissioned the Urban Planning and Design Institute of Tongji University in Shanghai to prepare the control detailed plan for the Nanyan District of the Yiyang Industrial Park. This plan fully embodies the concepts of green, ecological, low-carbon, and technological development in terms of functional zoning, industrial layout, and infrastructure construction. Subsequently, the park commissioned the Urban Planning and Design Institute of Jiangxi Normal University to prepare a construction plan for an ecological industrial park, which was approved by the Provincial Development and Reform Commission.In 2011, the park was officially designated as a pilot unit for the creation of a provincial-level ecological industrial park.
Yiyang High-Tech Zone has essentially established an industrial development structure centered on non-ferrous metal processing, new building materials, machinery and auto parts, textiles and apparel, and food and pharmaceuticals. Among these, the two pillar industries—non-ferrous metal processing and new building materials—account for 70% of the park’s total economic output.
