Deputy government spokesperson Ratchada Thanadirek

 

The Cabinet on Tuesday approved the Industry Ministry’s proposal to develop a smart park worth Bt2.37 billion in Rayong province, deputy government spokesperson Ratchada Thanadirek said.

 

The park will occupy 1,383 rai, 621 rai of which will be allocated for the industrial zone, 150 rai for the commercial zone, 373.35 rai for utilities and infrastructure, and 238.32 rai for the green buffer zone.

 

The park aims to woo advanced industries, such as robotics, aviation, digital and medical businesses.

 

She added the construction of the park’s infrastructure will take three years to complete, and it should be fully occupied within four years of completion.

 

The park is expected to generate a cash flow of Bt1.34 billion per year.

I wonder what a green buffer zone is and if it has a definite use, or is it some management-speak in-phrase?

I think you really know the answer as buffer zones have been standard for many years. They are to separate each area of certain uses from others to reduce noise and other pollution as well as for aesthetics and for environmental reasons. The smart park will have industrial zones, utilities (Power Plant, Water & Waste Treatment etc), University, offices and residential zones. Here is a photo.

Looks wonderful,  now lets see how it really turns out  and for how long all that "greenery" is maintained.

Looks great. Wonder where is it? I saw new proposed apartment & shopping mall near Map Tha Phut junction. Suppose to be smart city as well.
