Abstract: Abstract In March 1994, China announced its plans for sustainable development in a White Paper entitled 'China's Strategy for Population, Environment and Development in the 21st Century.’ To achieve the objective of sustainable development; economic, social and environmental aims have to be consistent with each other and meet the needs of the present, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainable development, therefore, encompasses many 'ideals,’ which need to be introduced through practical management techniques. This paper addresses the role that EIA could play in promoting sustainable development projects in the People's Republic of China by way of the detailed examination of a case study—the Shanghai Second Sewerage Project.
