Urban Economics and Real Estate Markets

Bys: DiPasquale, Denise and Wheaton, William

Urban Economics and Real Estate Markets, Second Edition is a fully reimagined update of a pioneering text, designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the economic forces shaping cities and real estate markets.

The book combines economic theory with real-world data and applications to analyze city economies and the operation of residential, commercial, industrial, and retail real estate markets, as well as the role of government. This new edition reflects profound changes over the past three decades, including the housing boom and global financial crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, and rapid technological advances with the growth of the ubiquitous internet, big data, e-commerce, and remote work. Incorporating new data sources and the latest research, it remains grounded in foundational urban economic models. By blending established theory with contemporary issues and evidence, the book offers a rigorous, up-to-date framework for understanding the evolving dynamics of cities and real estate markets, acknowledging emerging challenges like climate change, shifting work patterns, and the potential impact of artificial intelligence.

This book is targeted at undergraduate and graduate classes in urban economics and real estate as well as real estate, planning, finance and public sector professionals.
