Development/Redevelopment Track
A broad understanding of real estate development and
redevelopment, including land, building, market, and financial analysis,
particularly in the United States, is gained through a sequence of courses in
development/redevelopment planning and practice; real estate, finance,
investment; and development impact analysis. The track meets the needs of
students with varying interests, including planning for
development/redevelopment, real estate market research and analysis, real
estate finance and investment analysis, and relating land-use planning and
controls to the private development process. It is strongly recommended
that students take at least one studio in urban redevelopment, neighborhood
revitalization, urban design, housing, or community development. The most recent information about faculty advisers and
specific courses can be found on the

Urban Design Track
The urban design track focuses on the visioning, planning, and
design of neighborhoods and developments. Urban design courses equip
students with the skills to create and communicate future forms of urban
development/redevelopment. The design sequence provides basic knowledge
of urban design principles and practice, as well as site design
techniques. The graphics curriculum illustrates basic and advanced skills
in graphic production and demonstrates the various graphics behind a successful
urban planning project. Students develop the confidence to interact
between students, faculty, client, and public officials on real-world issues
after successfully completing this sequence of courses. The most recent information about faculty advisers and
specific courses can be found on the Bloustein webpage.
