This guidance paper provides a practical guide to assessing wider socioeconomic impacts of urban infrastructure projects ex-ante, using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. It enhances the capacity of World Bank task teams and counterpart stakeholders to conduct the required analysis by referring teams to relevant methods for capturing and assessing a set of given outcomes and impacts. The paper focuses on how investments impact on local economies, within the confines of physical city boundaries. Due to its socioeconomic aspects, the tool offers an analysises that goes beyond technical or financial criteria.
