Infos

This book presents for the first time an interdisciplinary view of
property development and property developers. Fourteen contributor
are brought together here from leading researchers and respected
practitioners, including property analysts, economists,
geographers, planners and sociologists. This rounded picture of
property research explores:

* the development of quantitative and qualitative research
methods

* theories ranging from mainstream economics to social
constructivism

* the inter-relationships between the economic and the social,
and between individuals and organisations and their
environments

Development and Developers highlights the benefits of
different research approaches and methods, demonstrating how a more
inclusive, multidisciplinary view of property research will connect
to wider debates in urban studies.

Rezensionen

Overall, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the book. It has
provided me with an interdisciplinary view of property development
and property developers. From a research angle, this book has
definitely made a contribution to the research agenda. As a teacher
of an undergraduate module on Real Estate Development, the series
of papers provided me with a very useful framework for my lectures
as well as valuable materials for tutorial discussions and
readings.... I have no hesitation in recommending this book as one
of the essential readings for my students.
