Housing, Real Estate and Neighborhoods
Numerous social and economic issues have a housing and neighborhood dimension, including racial segregation, poverty, unemployment, lack of services, neighborhood decline and gentrification, and lack of access to mortgage finance. The concentration acquaints students with these problems and a broad range of planning tools operating on housing and real estate markets such as zoning, code design and enforcement, revitalization and preservation policies, public housing, and rent vouchers. It also deals with the role of the many actors in the real estate market, such as the construction and finance sector, municipal, state and federal government, real estate agents and developers, the non-profit sector, and the courts and enforcement agencies among others.
