Description:

Urban Economics examines the choices made by families and firms about where to live and do business.

In addition, the course frames these contemporary issues in historical context by considering how modern urbanization evolved from city-state origins. The course addresses how local governments attend to their housing crises, the homeless, and property tax equity in times of limited budgets and scarce resources. Similarly, the course examines the effects of budget initiatives (Proposition 13) and popular referendums (Prop 209) on social spending and educational diversity in Los Angeles.
