Urban Economics and Real Estate allows an instructor to teach separate courses in either urban economics or urban real estate, or a blend of the two topics.
Provides a comprehensive approach to the economic factors that both define and affect modern urban areas, considering the economics of cities as a whole, rather than separating them into isolated topics
Analyzes topics such as urban housing, real estate markets, growth, and social and policy issues, and how these affect the economic functioning of a city
Includes in–depth discussions of real estate markets and policy issues
Considers the changing role of the city in economic life, and the effects of social problems, such as crime, poverty, and education that often accompany these changes
Offers a dedicated author–hosted website containing supplemental material, available at http://www.uic.edu/~mcmillen.
