Abstract

As more and more people make cities their home, the issue of social sustainability in these cities is being brought to the fore. Although a key component of sustainability, social aspects are rarely addressed in a quantitative manner, leading to an evaluation of sustainability which is not comprehensive. This chapter outlines the concept of social equity, both singularly, and as an important part of sustainability evaluation. Linking these evaluations and the concept of stakeholder engagement in the energy policy making process, social equity and sustainability are prioritized in terms of engendering robust, socially sustainable policy making. By linking an academic, quantitative approach of social equity and policy making in an inclusive process, policy making becomes more effective and fair, particularly for those sectors of society which are not typically represented in the traditional policy making process.
