Measuring What Matters: Real Social Impact in Projects
Good development isn’t just about progress you can see—it’s the kind of people you can feel on their street. Every project, whether a new road, housing build, or rail upgrade, leaves fingerprints on daily life. That’s where impact study guidelines do heavy lifting. They frame what to measure, who to listen to, and how to balance trade-offs. Use them early, and small ripples show up before they become waves. We’re talking about commute times, access to services, local jobs, and even the vibe around the shops. Get this right and growth supports people, not just spreadsheets. It’s practical work, grounded in evidence and shaped by lived experience. Local context matters most. Always.
