Stakeholder Collaboration in Sustainable Neighborhood Projects—A Review and Research Agenda

Stakeholder collaboration in neighborhood projects facilitates networking and knowledge transfer.  Construction companies participate in the task definition, research institutions contribute to feasibility testing, civil society organizations (CSOs) reinforce environmental approaches, and international partners increase funding, experience, and political support.  Collaboration leads to the success of community development projects.  Successful neighborhoods are realized through development projects and stakeholder collaboration from a project perspective.  Although community involvement may create tension and trigger a series of protracted and contentious negotiations between residents or their representatives and local authorities, it has various benefits for the realization of sustainable projects, including acceptance and marketing opportunities.
