Goal

The goal of the Urban Economics course at the undergraduate level is to familiarise students with the importance of the urban economics phenomenon in today's conditions of globalised business. Urban economics represents a modern way of observing and researching the functioning of the city as a "living organism," and the course itself is conceived and structured on the same basis—how and in what way complex urban environments—cities—function.
The goal of this undergraduate elective course is to interest students in the dynamic field of urban (spatial) economics, which is infrastructurally positioned and provides the opportunity for evaluation, selection, and determination of optimal strategies.
