In the new-type clustered industrial park, the closer distance between enterprises leads to risk aggregation, and the layout of enterprises affects the safety and economy of the park. However, previous studies have often paid insufficient attention to safety, and few studies have considered park profits. To address this issue, a bi-level three-dimensional layout optimization model was proposed to minimize the overall association risk of the park and maximize the rental profit. In particular, this article explained the enterprise association risks and provided calculation formulas, considering multiple risk types. To solve the proposed nonlinear model, a specific variable conversion method was presented to reduce the problem scale. Subsequently, an improved genetic algorithm was developed and applied to obtain the layout results. Furthermore, a case study of an industrial park was conducted, and the computational results indicated the validity of the model and methods. Finally, two different scenarios were implemented, and critical parameters were tested to provide valuable management insights.
