The Chicago region is the leading rail hub on the continent and has the largest inland intermodal port in the United States. The region also has a highly developed highway system, with access to more than ten interstate highways; a Port district and river system that connects to the Great Lakes, Mississippi River, and Atlantic Ocean.

With nearly 250 million square feet of industrial space, the City of Chicago's industrial inventory accounts for more than 20 percent of the total industrial inventory in the region.

Chicago's industrial corridors constitute the city's primary resource of space for industrial development and encompass about 12 percent of City land with over 16,935 acres zoned primarily for manufacturing.{{cite web|url=https://www.cmap.illinois.gov/documents/10180/876575/CMAP%20MstrPlnIIPD%20Market%20Assessment%20Final.pdf/ed0c3b77-fd84-5478-ba20-c06b59765f7a|title=Master Plan for the Illinois International Port District|author=Cambridge Systematics|publisher=Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning|access-date=8 December 2022}}

There are 11 National Industrial Corridors (NIC) and numerous state level industrial corridors. The NIC are as follows:[https://www.nicdc.in/ National Industrial Corridor Development Programme], nicdc.in, accessed 27 June 2023. Note, East Coast Economic Corridor is the name for the combination of Coastal India NICs.

The corridor will reduce the travel time for containers from 50 h, by the existing freight train, to 17 h by a proposed freight corridor and approximately 14 days by road to 14 hours by the proposed freight corridor. These corridors are expected to improve economic activities in the region and increase the national competitiveness overall. This project incorporates Nine Mega Industrial zones of about 200-250 sq. km., high speed freight line, three ports, and six airports, a six-lane intersection-free expressway connecting Mumbai to Delhi and a 4000 MW power plant.{{cite journal|author=Chandrima Mukhopadhyay |title=Is the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) an Emerging 'Megaregion' in India? |journal=Planning Theory and Practice |date=November 2017 |volume=19 |issue=2 |pages=305–309 |doi=10.1080/14649357.2017.1392136|s2cid=149372023 }} The Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor {{Cite journal|jstor=44003407 |title=Scaling up, Scaling Down: State Rescaling along the Delhi—Mumbai Industrial Corridor |last1=Anand |first1=Shriya |last2=Sami |first2=Neha |journal=Economic and Political Weekly |year=2016 |volume=51 |issue=17 |pages=50–58 }} is a mega infrastructure project of USD 90 billion.

Africa, having long been an underinvested continent is now home to some of the world’s fastest growing economies. The urban population is forecast to grow by over 60% by 2060. Africa was home to 17 percent of the world population in 2020, and is expected to have 26 percent of the global population in 2050. Likewise, Africa's demand for electricity will quadruple from 2010 to 2040.{{cite web|title=Solving Africa's infrastructure paradox|url=https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/operations/our-insights/solving-africas-infrastructure-paradox|publisher=McKinsey and Company|date=6 March 2020|access-date=9 December 2022}}

Across Africa, regional development banks invested the most in development corridors (30.8%), with the African Development Bank funding the majority (24.3%) of all projects. Outside of Africa, the regional development banks that invested in the most projects are the Export-Import Bank of China (3.8%), the European Investment Bank (2.8%) and the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (1.2% ea.). National governments funded about 29.8% of all projects.

== Environmental effects ==

Industrial zone development corridors can lead to 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.

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. Other health concerns were found to include a 40% increased risk of acute eye disorder in the industrial area compared with the control area. The prevalence of the risks of lung and uterine cancers in the industrial area was statistically significantly higher at 3.45 and 1.88 times, respectively.

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. Moreover, general challenges may include: mixed access to designations, complex and inflexible approval processes, need for robust and integrated decision-making,[https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/bitstream/handle/10986/5977/9780195209921_ch01.pdf Infrastructure: achievements, challenges, and opportunities] World Bank, Retrieved 9 December 2022{{Cite web

Additional challenges within a region can include regional instability and geopolitical shifts, isolation of corridor from existing economic activities, topographic challenges, lack of skilled labor, inconsistent quality of work, and high maintenance costs.Vadim Kaptur and Aida Karazhanova (June 2011).
