Earls Court Development Company: Earls Court
Project Description
Earls Court Development Company (ECDC) are responsible for driving the regeneration of the, circa 40 acres, former Earls Court Exhibition Centre site.
Our Role
In 2021, ECDC appointed RealWorth to measure the social value of the activities associated with the regeneration process and has since been retained as the Development Partnership’s Social Value Advisor to help define and implement its social value strategy.
This long-term appointment seeks to integrate social value into a wide range of functions conducted by ECDC during the planning, design, construction, and occupation phases of the development.
Work to date includes:
Annual impact reporting
Social value charter
Masterplan impact
Sentiment surveying
Meanwhile activities
Community programmes
Since 2021, we have measured and reported on the social value created. The latest reports can be found here.
We have worked with designers to optimise social value and have provided analyses and reports to support the planning application process. Going forward, social value advice will be offered during the construction, and occupation phases of the development.
Increased wellbeing from living in a better environment, feeling safer, and having improved social connections
