Urban Economics

Urban Economics is an essential course that applies microeconomic principles to understand the spatial distribution of people and economic activity. It analyzes key issues such as location theory, land markets, housing, transportation, and the rationale for local government intervention. Participants will develop quantitative skills to evaluate policy impacts, understand the economic forces driving urban growth and decline, and assess the efficiency and equity of urban resource allocation. The course provides a rigorous, data-driven framework for making informed decisions about urban development.
