Abstract

Megaprojects include a wide range of projects ranging from building physical infrastructure, developing new drugs and vaccines, rolling out educational programmes and various humanitarian endeavours. We explore how the sustainability of megaprojects can be qualitatively and quantitatively assessed in terms of achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), a widely accepted framework with a clear set of targets and indicators. UN SDGs are ideal for discussing the success of megaprojects since they are universal, accepted by several organisations, and familiar to policymakers, decision-makers and scholars across several communities. Therefore, linking megaproject sustainability to SDGs is a way to “open up” project studies and management to a broader community. This chapter analyses each SDG, showing its applicability and links to megaprojects.
