Summer Session 3, May 27, 2025 - August 5, 2025

Urban Economics is the study of location choices by firms and households. The technological changes and economic factors driving the process of urbanization, and the shift from a "downtown-centered" city to the suburbanized metropolises prevalent in the U.S. today are the central focus of the course. Throughout the course, New York City's history and current situation are used as examples of the economic forces operating in cities. Students will participate in a group project to analyze a major urban problem such as housing affordability, poverty, crime, or education.
