Abstract
Good health and well-being are key indicators and a precondition for sustainable development, allowing people to enjoy fulfilling lives, receive education and be productive members of society. Social value is the positive impact of infrastructure projects on long-term well-being. Infrastructure social value (SV) delivery is a practical national/organisation-level vehicle for realising the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal Three - ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all ages. However, infrastructure SV delivery is often commissioned when the project is well underway or completed, so mechanisms to collect the required data to quantify SV impact were not set up. By that point, it is usually late. Qualitative and quantitative methodologies are applied using the Goodison Legacy Project (GLP) as a case study. Twenty-five interviews were conducted to analyse the SV commitments of the GLP. A quantitative formula was developed for the definition and estimation of SV components to indicate the well-being status of the end-users before the infrastructure project commences and possible evaluation of infrastructure impact on the community. A framework is developed for the GLP to demonstrate the SV delivery of infrastructure projects to realise SDG 3. The study emphasised that evaluating the well-being status of potential project users before the infrastructure project commences plays a central role in indicating where to invest and maximise resources. Thus, it helps monitor how construction projects impact society's well-being, economic changes, and the built environment. The approach explored could revolutionise how to evaluate effective SV delivery of infrastructure to realise the SDGs.
