My understanding: For this purpose, drastic improvements are required in the fragile and vulnerable urban industrial infrastructure such as electric power, which has become a bottleneck for economic activity in urban areas, need to improve the environment
My issue: how do we translate 外資を含む in this sentence? is it foreign capital/ investment including the manufacturing industry or foreign capital embracing the manufacturing industry?

「外資を含む製造業の立地環境を整備する」in that sentence would be something like:
"(necessary to) create an environment that supports the establishment of manufacturing businesses, including those with foreign investment"
Hope that helps.

including foreign-owned
From the context, "外資" here sounds to me very much like shorthand or business jargon for "外資系企業", which means "foreign-owned companies", in which case that part of the sentence would mean essentially "...the locational environment for manufacturing (including foreign-owned manufacturers)..."
