Cities both shape and are shaped by economic processes. Economic cycles and structural change influence phases of urban change; while the form and function of cities, along with policy frameworks, act as both enabler and inhibitor to economic and land development activity. Land-use planning thus plays a critical role in the function of property markets, urban development and urban economics. In this course you will engage with urban theory, policy and practice to understand the role of land-use planning in the context of economic and property development activity.
