Every building tells a story of markets, policy, and people.

This course explores the foundations of urban economics and the role of real estate in shaping modern economies. Students will analyze the dynamics of housing markets, zoning, and land use, while examining how urban development impacts investment decisions and long-term economic growth. Through interactive simulations and case studies, learners will engage with real-world scenarios—evaluating property valuation disputes, rent regulation, and the relationship between infrastructure and city expansion. The course blends theory with practice, equipping students with the tools to understand how urban spaces are financed, built, and sustained.
