In the course of the economization of society, understanding economic relationships in planning and construction has become a key qualification for architects and planners. In this context, the department of "Economics of Planning and Construction" provides essential foundational skills within architectural education.
The curriculum offers economic training tailored to both traditional and emerging fields of architectural practice, with a particular focus on the interfaces with other disciplines and professional practice. The core topics primarily address four spatial scales: region, city, neighborhood, and individual building. Our team’s key strength lies in bridging real estate economics with urban and regional economics as well as urban planning dimensions.
In our research, we specialize in the economic aspects of spatial development, examining research topics across the spatial levels of region, city, neighborhood, and rural area (or country/state, depending on institutional focus).
