This lecture explores the social impact of infrastructure projects, focusing on the effects on children and cultural heritage. It discusses issues such as child labor, safety, education, and the importance of considering cultural heritage early in project development. The lecture also highlights the case of the Thessaloniki metro project in Greece, where archaeological finds led to significant delays and budget overruns, emphasizing the importance of balancing infrastructure development with the preservation of cultural heritage.
