ABSTRACT Urban rail transport megaprojects are promoted as generating positive social change at a metropolitan scale, yet they produce complex unplanned negative impacts at local scales. Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and its follow-up help decision-makers assess and manage the social and environmental impacts of major projects. Using Western Sydney’s politically-successful South West Rail Link as an example, we identified the practice challenges and governance barriers to applying ESIA and EIA follow-up across spatial scales. These challenges and barriers influence the planning and management of the impacts of integrated urban development and transport infrastructure development.

关于在交通基础设施项目规划中如何考虑社会影响的思考：超越悉尼西南铁路线宣称的成功

摘要城市轨道交通大型项目在大城市范围内产生了积极的社会变革，但在地方范围内却产生了计划外的复杂计划外负面影响。环境和社会影响评估（ESIA）及其后续措施可帮助决策者评估和管理重大项目的社会和环境影响。以西悉尼政治上成功的西南铁路线为例，我们确定了在空间尺度上应用ESIA和EIA后续措施的实践挑战和治理障碍。这些挑战和障碍影响了城市综合发展和交通基础设施发展影响的规划和管理。
