The Chicago region is the leading rail hub on the continent and has the largest inland intermodal port in the United States.

Some of the state industrial corridors are: Africa, having long been an underinvested continent is now home to some of the world’s fastest growing economies.

[17] Industrial zone development corridors can lead to[16] significant biodiversity loss, habitat fragmentation, pollution, spread invasive species, increase illegal logging, poaching and fires, severely affect river deltas and coastal and marine ecosystems, and consume large volumes of greenhouse gas intensive products such as steel and cement.

The population in this region is exposed to a multipollutant environment,[18] including high levels of sulfur dioxide, submicrometric particles, and black carbon.

Additionally, the risk of lung cancer was significantly higher among residents living in industrial complexes than that in the control area even after adjusting for age, sex, smoking, occupational exposure, education, and BMI.

Challenges with planning and implementing, lack of clarity and consistency of national objectives and standards leads to industrial corridors varying in characteristics between countries and jurisdictions.
