- Abstract:
Major urban development projects extend over prolonged timescales, involve a large number of stakeholders and necessitate complex decision making. This paper describes part of ongoing research to develop a Sustainability Enhancement Framework for urban re-development projects. This requires an understanding of stakeholder interaction and their influence on decisions to provide guidance on where potential enhancement actives can best influence the project’s sustainability. The scope of the required interviews and analytical approaches are described and the paper demonstrates how these techniques led to the identification of key sustainability intervention points in the decision process. Conclusions are drawn on the value and robustness of the methodology.
