In this chapter we aim to define social value and demystify the somewhat confusing language that is used in this area. Through reference to contemporary and numerous practical examples, we also discuss emerging trends and drivers of social value in the built environment and the ways in which social value can be created throughout a construction project’s life-cycle from planning and design, through tendering, construction and facilities management. The chapter concludes with a discussion about the ethics of social value in the built environment and raises important questions for practitioners, students and researchers about the many perspectives that must be considered when developing, measuring and reporting the social impact initiatives that are designed to give back to the communities in which the industry builds.
