Resum:
The modernization of productive areas -industrial estates, technology and logistics parks, etc.-, involves the need to incorporate solutions that provide them with greater sustainability. The specificities of these areas, such as their high energy consumption or significant water intake, means that their implementation requires the adoption of measures that reduce the impact on the environment, contributing to the concept of a sustainable productive area. The implementation of renewable energies and Smart Grids, the improved water cycle and the introduction of urbotics are solutions that enable making these spaces more sustainable in the field of infrastructures. This article analyses and verifies their implementation in a significantly important industrial area of Spain, ultimately concluding that such elements are scarcely implemented in productive areas. © The author; licensee Universidad Nacional de Colombia.
