Foreword
As East Asia pulls itself from the grips of a major financial crisis, environmental managers and planners have an opportunity to better integrate environmental concerns with their governments' long-term development goals. The World Bank is working with its clients to facilitate this process, and to help them shift their growth paradigms toward more environmentally sustainable development.
Limestone is found in all East Asian countries, and cement, the chief limestone product, is a common barometer of economic progress. Many World Bank-financed infrastructure projects use cement, often in considerable quantities, and are subject to careful screening to ensure compliance with the World Bank's environmental safeguard policies. Until now, the focus of the impact assessments has been on the immediate project area, or, when cement factories themselves are scrutinized, on the dust and noise emitted by the plants. Today, however, the perspectives have changed and we look at the broader "area of influence" of the project, and, as this report shows, there is more than dust and noise requiring attention.
