Course Description:
What role does land and housing play in the economic growth of cities? What are the causes and consequences of government intervention in markets for land and housing? In this course, we will look at the role that real estate markets play in determining economic outcomes, the role of land use policy, the history of urban development, segregation, gentrification, and the role of housing markets and policy in generating economic inequality. We will start by examining theories of urban growth and use these frameworks to understand the development of housing markets in the United States and abroad. |
