Economics of Development
Purpose
The purpose of this module is to provide as comprehensive as possible an introduction to development economics and forms of development appraisal.
Benefits
The argument that an understanding of development economics should be important to planners stems from the increasing interaction between planning authorities, planning consultancies and developers. In its absence planning may be a blunt instrument in relation to facilitating the best societal benefits of planning gain while still allowing the normal development market processes to occur.
Audience
Urban and regional planners and all those wishing to build and assess their knowledge of the topic.
Learning method
A knowledge builder which enables planners to achieve a thorough grounding in the economics of development. Additionally a range of further reading and appropriate websites is provided for those who wish to become expert in the subject. Includes voluntary self assessment for recording continuous professional development (CPD).
