Local organizations' efforts to understand the deficiencies of Cerkezkoy'un social and physical structures by conducting highly participatory studies, and the participation of city residents in these studies on a voluntary basis, is another exemplary feature of Cerkezkoy.

The district, despite having an ancient history, has its tourism identity overshadowed by the industry's influence on the city's appearance. Cerkezkoy' development path depends on increasing the physical, financial, and social opportunities that will enable the development of industrial zones in the city, and reducing the damage the industry causes to the environment. Reducing environmental damage is not only crucial for Cerkezkoy, which marks the beginning of pollution in the Ergene River, but it is also of great importance for all of Thrace.

The Cerkezkoy district is today one of Turkiye's largest industrial centers. Cerkezkoy's industrial establishments are concentrated in the textile, rubber and plastic, paint and chemical, metal and machinery, food, healthcare, mining, wood, electronics and white goods, construction materials, stationery, and automotive sectors, employing approximately 30,000 people.

After studying Cerkezkoy's geographic, geological, hydrographic, climatic, soil, vegetation, agricultural, commercial, economic, and industrial characteristics within the Istanbul metropolitan plan, Cerkezkoy was adopted as an alternative and the establishment of an Organized Industrial Zone in Cerkezkoy was approved by the Council of Ministers' Decree No. 7/6177 dated March 29, 1973.

This is Turkiye's second largest Organized Industrial Zone with its 1,250 hectares of land, after the 1,500-hectare Organized Industrial Zone in Adana.
