Also, it creates a new green public space that connects several parts of the city. The megaproject has had an eventful history in which various technical and financial problems arose. This resulted in an increase in expenses and a delay in completion. In addition, social issues for stakeholders aggravated. In this thesis, a two-sided mixed-method approach researched how potential social issues for the local residents were managed throughout the project. Although a Social Impact Assessment (SIA) was never fully undertaken, aspects of this process that are in line with Dutch legislation were implemented to efficiently solve social issues. Semi-structured interviews with experts stressed the importance of communication. Via a questionnaire, the perception of the local residents about the communication towards them was asked. Good communication disseminated through various means towards local residents is seen as a key element for the management of social issues.
