Abstract
Burnside Industrial Park encompasses an area of 1200 hectares with 1300 businesses and approximately 20 000 people in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Although never designed and constructed as a functioning ecosystem, the park contains many of the elements and characteristics of such a system, with diversity, resiliency, stability and integrity. Webs must be strengthened into nested hierarchies of subsystems guided by information functioning in positive and negative feedback systems. In ecological terms, a wider range of symbionts, metamorphs, polymorphs and hybrids must be established or developed. Support systems that will facilitate an ecosystem approach include an information network and clearing-house, a materials exchange network, environmental audit team, an educational program, an applied research program and a balance of regulatory and economic instruments.
