Urban Economics: A Global Perspective
- Book Reviews, by Paul N. Balchin

Urban Economics: A Global Perspective

FROM THE PUBLISHER

"Urban Economics: A Global Perspective is essential reading for students of development economics, environmental studies, geography, real estate development and investment, and urban planning." "Urban economics has developed from its origins in neo-classical economics to become a separate discipline, incorporating elements from demography, sociology, geography, real estate, planning and environmental science. In today's global society, the only way to study urban economics effectively is within a global context. This book sets out to place the issues of urban economics within a world focus."--BOOK JACKET.
