ECON 6240 - Urban Economics

American cities have been the historical place for shopping, cultural, political, and economic centers. But cities are changing rapidly as health issues, civil unrest, affordability, workforce innovations, and many other issues continually reshape our understanding of urban areas. This course will explore the makeup of cities through the lens of labor, industry ecosystems, logistics, housing, and many other topics. Graduate students should register for 6240 and will be held to higher standards and/or additional work.
