The Taiyuan Stainless Steel Eco-Industrial Park is located at the northern end of Taiyuan City, within the jurisdiction of Xincheng Subdistrict in Jiancaoping District and Yangqu Town, on both sides of National Highway 108 and east of Xinlan Road. The boundaries of the area are clearly defined.Its immediate planned construction area is 233.75 hectares, with a planned control area of 554.28 hectares reserved through 2010. This aligns with Taiyuan’s socio-economic development plan, master land use plan, general urban plan, and urban environmental protection plan.
Preparations for the park began in 2002; construction of the initial phase officially commenced in October 2003, and the first phase was completed and opened on August 28, 2004. In April 2006, following approval by the provincial government and review by the National Development and Reform Commission, the Stainless Steel Eco-Industrial Park was designated as a provincial-level development zone.
The planned area of the park features a distinct hilly and ravine-filled topography, with a maximum elevation difference of nearly 30 meters. The land is barren, and urbanization has progressed slowly. During the development and construction process, the park has adhered to the principle of intensive land use, imposing strict control requirements on land use for projects entering the zone in terms of investment intensity and development progress. It has actively promoted the use of high-rise standard factory buildings to maximize the efficiency of land utilization.Concurrently, the park invested nearly 30 million yuan in relocation funds, relocating 90 enterprises (including retail storefronts), clearing 49,600 square meters of land, relocating 300 graves, and reclaiming 50 mu of land by filling in gullies. These efforts consolidated nearly 550 mu of land, significantly accelerating the development and construction process.
