Abstract

Michael Burisch, Charlottenlund (Dänemark) Industrialization and Industrial Estates in the Kingdom of Bhutan 1. Introduction Bhutan entered the modern era barely twenty years ago. Until then, it was possibly the most remote and isolationist of the Himalayan kingdoms. Formidable natural borders and a strong sense of independence had enabled the Bhutanese to remain largely unaffected by events outside the Himalayas for a long time. This has been changing, but centuries of tradition and the dominant influence of Buddhism have formed a cultural and social setting which will strongly condition the country's future. Bhutan is bordered by the Tibet region of Chi na, and by north-east India. It Covers a surface of a Community of industrialists." (United Nations 1978:6). In the context of industrial promotion, estates are principally meant to satisfy industry's need for adequate accommodation in a particularly cost-effective way. In most cases economies of scale will make it advantageous to develop a larger site which can later be subdivided into suitable industrial plots and be managed as a unit. Land or buildings can then be offered at attractive conditions to buyers or tenants. area of about 46000 km2. A chain of rugged and lofty mountains ranging in
