当前课程知识点:Socially-Responsible Real Estate Development: Learning to Use Impact Assessment Tools Effectively > Module 1: Introduction > Lectures > Key Takeaways
All real estate development projects are likely to create positive and negative environmental and social impacts. Socially-responsible real estate developers try to anticipate, mitigate, and manage these impacts in conjunction with the individuals and groups likely to be affected.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Social Impact Assessment (SIA) procedures are tools developers can use to evaluate the potential effects of a project.
While they are technical in nature, impact assessments hinge on subjective judgments that technical experts need to explain to the public.
In addition, while these assessments help decision-makers, they are not definitive. There is no one best way to proceed. Any company that seeks to operate in a socially responsible way needs to work with officials and non-governmental stakeholders to reach a shared understanding about how to balance costs and benefits and their distribution.
