“…The ways in which politicians and policy‐makers present the problem limits political debate. Case studies on the Turcot Interchange in Quebec (Van Neste and Sénécal, ) and the Via Parque Rímac expressway in Lima (Strauch, Takano and Hordijk, ) demonstrate that the emphasis on infrastructure facilitating automobility was politically framed as an essential prerequisite for local economic development. Such highly politicised solutions leave no room for a redefinition of the mobility problem beyond automobility, thereby disregarding the transportation needs of the communities directly affected by the motorways.…”

The outdoor electric escalator in Medellín's Comuna 13, part of an Integrated Urban Project aimed at bridging the city's socio‐spatial divide, did not fully accomplish the project's goal of increasing the mobility of 12,000 people living in the area, nor did it make a significant contribution to diminishing social inequalities. The escalator project can be considered a prestigious solution to an ill‐defined problem that did not take people's mobility patterns into account. Although the project succeeded in increasing civic pride and improving Medellín's image of modernity and progress, it also led to new social inequalities.

“…Projects carry considerable social responsibility expectations when the public and local communities are highly concerned about them, and the negative effects of failing to fulfill social responsibilities are high [4]. At the same time, government regulators and NGOs have constrained the social responsibility of the participants [19,30].…”

“…Megaproject social responsibility (MSR) refers to the obligation of megaproject participating parties on the social and environmental impacts of their decisions and activities through transparent and ethical behavior during the project life cycle [1,3]. Under the current emphasis on green development and social stability, megaprojects are increasingly prioritizing cross-integration with society [4], economy [5], culture [6], and ecology [7]. MSR is undoubtedly an important "value" element in measuring the success of engineering projects.…”

e importance of social responsibility strategy for the sustainable development of megaprojects has been widely concerned, while types and motivations of social responsibility behavior have also been analyzed and examined in the corporate management literature. However, the typical social responsibility behaviors in megaprojects and the various motivations and factors that influence stakeholders' selection of social responsibility behavior have not been fully considered and confirmed. In this study, camouflage behavior and collaborative behavior are taken as representative social responsibility behaviors. Based on the social action theory, the impact of relevant influencing factors is empirically examined and stakeholder's selection of these two behaviors toward megaproject social responsibility (MSR) is explored. Results from the sample data of 127 management staff with megaproject experience from the participating parties revealed that synergistic behavior is driven mainly by relationship quality (RQ), whereas hypocritical behavior is affected by RQ, institutional pressure, and external appeals. In addition, the mutual feedback mechanism significantly improves the RQ of participating parties, which indirectly affects both behaviors. ese findings bear implications in realizing the management of social responsibility behavior in megaprojects and guiding the participating parties to coordinate and implement social responsibility.
