Industrial development is no exception to this statement. The traditional role of industrial parks i n the urban context must be adapted to meet the unfolding needs of our information age. Using the example of Fredericton, this thesis w i l l explore the evolution from conventional industrial parks to today's technology parks. A review of an implementation plan for a proposed technology park i n Fredericton w i ll cover all planning related issues including feasibility, infrastructure and costs. Administration of technology parks and the status of technology-related park developments i n New Brunswick w i l l also be considered. Primary resources of the traditional industrial park have evolved to the human resources needed i n an information-based economy. Technology parks exploit this by their very nature. They are the planned development projects of the next millennium.vii, 58 pageselectronicen-CAhttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_16ecsenior reportIrcha, MikeC., IrchaCivil Engineering
