Socially-Responsible Real Estate Development

How can you determine if a proposed real estate development project is socially responsible? Or determine whether the developer used the tools of social impact assessment (SIA), environmental impact assessment (EIA), and public consultation effectively?

This course will teach you how to evaluate a development project and practice socially responsible real estate yourself by applying SIA, EIA, and consultation methods. It is also designed to help students build their own personal theory of what constitutes socially responsible real estate development.

Taught by a professor with more than forty-five years of teaching experience at MIT, using an applied case study method, this course will open new opportunities for real estate developers and urban planners to see how SIA, EIA, and stakeholder engagement are the keys to creating socially-responsible real estate development throughout the world.

What you'll learn:

• Identify the key features of socially responsible real estate development
• Articulate the key elements of both the theory and practice of EIA and SIA
• Apply basic SIA and EIA to analyze large-scale real estate development projects
• Define a personal theory of socially responsible real estate development and a strategy for implementing it
• Understand how SIA and EIA can create value for all stakeholders in a real estate development project
