N2 - This study conducted a critical assessment on the development of Eco-Industrial Parks. The aim of the research was to identify if there is a gap in the development of Eco-Industrial Parks in South Africa. The focus on Eco-Industrial Parks in South Africa is necessary as it would lead to the reduction of the informal Industrial Parks so that it may be on par with competitive countries in terms of the innovation and environmental preservation. The objective of the study was to identify the necessity to develop the current industrial parks into Eco-Industrial Parks. This study was conducted through literature analysis. The researcher developed an assessment criteria that focused on the Application Sector, Location and Business Type. It was found that a gap in the development of Eco-Industrial Parks existed in the service sector. It was also found that there was no development of Eco-Industrial Parks in South Africa, South Western Townships, and in the informal sector.
