Description

This course is designed to provide urban planners, policy makers, and community development professionals with an introduction to the key factors shaping urban real estate markets. This class will examine the role changing demographics patterns and regional economic trends play in influencing the location, density, and type of urban development taking place within metropolitan regions. The course will give special attention to the tools urban planners and policy makers use to encourage responsible forms of Smart Growth and inspired examples of attractive, sustainable, and resilient place-making that improve the quality of life in towns, cities, and regions. The class will also introduce students to the formal land use review process developers must follow to either improve a parcel of land or redevelop an existing structure.
