A broad understanding of housing and development planning, housing economics and markets, land and building analysis, development, and marketing processes, particularly in the United States, is gained through a sequence of courses in development planning and practice; real estate research, finance, and investment; and housing impact analysis. This concentration meets the needs of students with varying interests, including planning for development, real estate market research and analysis, real estate finance and investment analysis, and relating land-use planning and controls to the private development process.
Students must take at least two of the four required courses, and at least four courses total in the concentration. Two graduate planning studios covering the following topics are strongly recommended: historic preservation, housing, urban design, neighborhood revitalization, or community development.
