Today; sustainable cities/regions are playing an important role in sustainable development projects. The overall aim of the current paper is to demonstrate an Industrial Symbiosis development in the Händelö area of Norrköping city in the Östergötland county of Sweden. It is part of a research program called “Sustainable Norrköping” focusing on developing links between the industrial and the urban part of the city. As analysis of the current situation is important for understanding the future development; the paper tries to map the current industrial symbiosis links and symbiotic network to identify potentials exist. To achieve this; paper gives a general view of how this area has been developed; constructed; and grown. The next stage is devoted to an inventory of different actors; stakeholders; and companies; their processes and relationships in the form of energy; materials and by-products exchanges; flows and streams into and out of the Händelö area considering the Händelö/Norrköping as system boundaries. In addition; by describing different tools; elements and approaches of industrial symbiosis and considering and applying two main key tools as industrial inventories and input/output matching the paper also tries to show that whether the already industrial activities formed inside the Händelö fits for an industrial symbiosis development.
