Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book advocates for enhancing urban planning by integrating urban economics into regulatory and infrastructural design. It highlights the gap between the qualitative language used by planners and the quantitative approach of urban economics. Alain Bertaud argues that employing economic theories, models, and empirical evidence can lead to more effective decision-making in urban planning. This approach aims to boost city productivity and improve the overall welfare of urban residents, bridging the divide between theory and practice in the field.
