Industrial estates are designated areas specifically developed for industrial activities, such as manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution. These zones are equipped with the necessary infrastructure, including roads, utilities, and communication systems, to support businesses. They often attract companies looking for space to operate efficiently and can help stimulate local economies by creating jobs. Typically located on the outskirts of urban areas, industrial estates provide a buffer between residential neighborhoods and heavy industry. They can host a variety of businesses, from small startups to large corporations, and may include facilities for research and development. Examples of such estates include business parks and technology hubs.
