An industrial area is a zone where manufacturing, warehousing, and other industrial activities take place. However, the term "industrial area" is not the only way to describe such a location. Other synonyms for industrial areas include industrial district, industrial park, industrial zone, industrial estate, and manufacturing hub. Each term refers to an area or zone where industrial activities occur. An industrial district implies an area where similar industries are clustered together. An industrial park is a planned development with specific infrastructure. An industrial estate is a large area used for industrial purposes. A manufacturing hub is an area where a cluster of manufacturing industries is located. So, whichever word you choose, it describes a thriving area of commerce and production.
