- Description
- Abstract: Studies have revealed that stakeholder management and sustainable principles consideration are essentials for mega construction project success. The aim of this paper was necessitated by the fact that though there is stakeholder dissatisfaction and lack of studies on the sustainability of the Aiport City Project (ACP) Accra, there is a proposal for second phase development. This paper evaluates stakeholders’ and sustainability measures considered for the ACP’s long term sustainability. A mixed method approach and purposive sampling was adopted. The 70% quantitative survey response rate was validated using six (6) semi-structured interviews and data analysed using a descriptive survey method. Key findings indicate that peer review of designs, project stakeholder meetings, project approval in principles and development monitoring were the measures instituted for stakeholder and sustainability considerations rather than the entire stakeholder management process. The research concludes that the ACP is only medium term sustainable due to low level stakeholder consideration, services infrastructure development, high vehicular traffic congestion, high rental values, socio-economic and cultural factors which are challenges for long term project sustainability.
