ECONOMICS OF REAL ESTATE

International real estate: an institutional approach W. Seabrooke, Paul S. Kent, Hebe H. H. How 0 Resenhas Wiley-Blackwell, 2004 - 368 páginas Real estate activity across national boundaries (investment, development and asset management) is firmly established as a major component of global economic activity. International Real Estate provides the understanding of real estate strategies and transactions that cross national boundaries. International organizations lament the narrow perspective of professionals in the real estate field, which stems from training that takes a parochial rather than international view of the practices and processes of real estate markets. This book takes an explicitly international perspective to the decision-making process leading to final 'accept' or 'reject' investment decisions. It will be the first to adopt an institutional approach that directly addresses the problems of how to identify and avoid the main pitfalls of cross-border investment in real estate. The key to understanding international real estate comes from understanding the impact on investment and management decisions of differences in the formal and informal 'rules of the game'. The authors define the key feature of international real estate as the institutions that frame, facilitate or impede investment in land and buildings across national boundaries.

The aim of CRMP is to address the challenges arising from important shifts in the ways in which governments and firms acquire complex engineered assets and deliver on their commitments to their customers. Innovative financing methods and new forms of project coalition are challenging the role of project managers - our research aims to support them as they develop these new roles. The management of projects as a research area has not been well represented within the leading international business schools, yet over the last ten years many organisations in the public and private sectors have been choosing to organise in project mode for all or part of their delivery on their commitments to their customers. Research covers all the issues to do with the definition, appraisal and delivery of projects, whether in government, aerospace, electronics, energy, telecommunications, IT, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, construction or other sectors in which projects are used as a form of work organisation. While our principal focus is on asset acquisition projects, we also intend to explore interfaces with the research on the management of new product development, organisational change and research & development projects.

City Builders: Property Development in New York and London, 1980-2000 University Press of Kansas, 2001 In the last twenty years, urban centers worldwide have experienced enormous booms and busts as real-estate developers, financial institutions, and public officials first poured resources into physical redevelopment, then watched as the market collapsed before booming again in the 1990s. In this extensively revised edition of her highly regarded The City Builders, Susan Fainstein examines major redevelopment efforts in New York and London to uncover the forces behind these investment cycles and the role that public policy can play in moderating market instability. Fainstein chronicles the progress of three development projects in New York (Times Square, downtown Brooklyn, and Battery Park City) and three in London (King's Cross, Spitalfields, and Docklands). Analyzing the political and economic processes underlying physical changes in these two cities during the last two decades, she uncovers the role played by developers' perceptions and strategies in their interactions with both public policy-makers and property markets. This new edition follows each development effort to the present and places the discussion in a newly strengthened theoretical framework. In her investigation of the convergence between London and New York during the 1980s and then the divergence that began in the 1990s, Fainstein traces similarities and differences in the effects of globalization, ideology, and institutional structure in each city's experience. This comparative framework also sheds considerable light on the contributing roles of structure and agency in creating final outcomes. Fainstein concludes by assessing the impact of "theme park" development on the urban fabric and recommending a set of realistic strategies to both redevelop cities and improve the lives of urban residents. This book is part of the Studies in Government and Public Policy series. Table of Contents List
