Research handbook on sustainable project management

edited by Gilbert Silvius (HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht, the Netherlands, and University of Johannesburg, South Africa) and Martina Huemann (Professor of Major Infrastructure and Project Hub lead, Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction, University College London, UK, and Professor, Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria)

"This Research Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the role of project management in sustainable development. Examining how to successfully integrate sustainability into the processes and practices involved, it highlights the significant development in sustainable project management whilst exploring potential future directions for the field. Through investigating how projects are linked to societal development and change, the Research Handbook identifies how they can both consider and contribute to sustainability. Using diverse case studies, leading project management scholars address key challenges in the field, such as how to align an organisation's sustainability ambition, strategy and project impact. Ultimately, this Research Handbook advances and deepens understandings of both the theoretical background and the most effective practical approaches to sustainable project management. Presenting a broad and nuanced view of what it means to be sustainable, this Research Handbook is a vital resource for students and scholars of project management, sustainability, and corporate social responsibility. It is also a useful guide for project management and governance professionals seeking a cutting-edge understanding of the future of their field"--
