Urban Infrastructure Economics

Urban Infrastructure Economics studies how cities allocate resources to build and maintain essential services and structures, like roads, bridges, public transport, and utilities. It examines the economic impacts of these infrastructures on urban development, housing, businesses, and overall quality of life. By analyzing how investments and policies influence the efficiency and accessibility of urban spaces, this field helps us understand the relationship between infrastructure decisions and economic growth, social equity, and environmental sustainability in cities. Ultimately, it aims to optimize urban planning for better living conditions and economic opportunities.
