Economics

The study of the production and consumption of goods and services, economics plays an important role in urban planning decisions and the development of cities. Planetizen Courses zero in on the economic issues that most affect urban development, from travel behavior and pricing in transportation planning to fiscal impact analysis, real estate valuation, and how urban development impacts supply chains and resource distribution.
