This study explores how structured information governance through Building Information Modelling (BIM) can support sustainable urban development in complex infrastructure projects. Focusing on the Crossrail Elizabeth Line in London, the research identifies and analyses key factors influencing the integrated implementation of BIM standards. A descriptive–analytical approach is adopted, combining literature review, expert validation using the Delphi method, and Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) to examine relationships between factors. MICMAC analysis is further applied to classify variables based on their driving and dependence power. The findings highlight that integrated information governance and digital collaboration culture act as the primary driving forces enabling effective BIM implementation. In contrast, operational-level digital delivery is shown to be highly dependent on upstream governance and data management processes. The study contributes to bridging the gap between BIM-based digital construction practices and sustainable urban systems by proposing a structured governance perspective for lifecycle information management.
