Urban Economic Geography

Urban Economic Geography is a field that studies how economic activities are distributed and organized within urban areas. It examines factors such as where businesses are located, how cities develop economically, and the impact of transportation and infrastructure on local economies. This discipline looks at the relationship between economic resources, land use, and social dynamics in cities, helping us understand issues like job creation, housing markets, and economic inequality. By analyzing these patterns, urban economic geography informs urban planning and policy-making to create more sustainable and equitable cities.
