This course applies microeconomic theory to examine the evolution of urban development in the United States, in response to technology, demographics, public policies, and the historical legacy of prior development, from small trading settlements to industrial powerhouses to urban wastelands to magnets for the modern service economy and for young and talented residents. Why did cities grow explosively from the industrial revolution to the mid-twentieth century and then suffer steep declines in jobs and population? Why have some, but not all, begun recently to revive? Why is the revival, also known as gentrification, welcomed by some and condemned by others?
