ECON-478

Economic activity is unevenly distributed across space, including within city limits. In this class, we will explore common economic challenges in urban areas, emphasizing how these issues vary across different parts of a city. We will analyze the economic framework of urban spaces, examining the interrelationships among key factors such as location, land use, socioeconomic conditions, population demographics, commercial activities, transportation, and housing. Additionally, we will learn how to find and visualize data to identify and discuss variations in economic activities across urban environments. Prerequisites: Economics 227 (or Mathematics 128 or 247) and Economics 307 (required); Economics 327 (Recommended). Distribution area: Social Sciences.
