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 three of the required courses, and at least four courses as a total for the concentration. Two graduate planning studios covering the following topics are strongly recommended: housing, urban design, urban redevelopment, neighborhood revitalization, or community development.
