What Happens Afterwards? Navigating Social Value in a Fragmented Property-led Planning Landscape—A Systematic Literature Review

This literature review offers a comprehensive framework for engaging social value within property development in planning studies. It critically examines how the concept is represented in academic discourse, particularly within an increasingly market-driven planning landscape. In doing so, it addresses the limited exploration of social value in planning studies through the development of a conceptual framework structured around three dimensions: representation, management, and assessment of social value. This nuanced approach emphasizes integrating research approaches and further exploring existing tools to mobilize social value in planning practice effectively, which is vital for addressing contemporary challenges and shaping future practices.
