This category's principal concern is urban economics as a field of study. Although it is recognized that much of the world's knowledge in this field is held outside the traditional academic sector, please submit into this category sites whose content contributes to the global knowledge base or locates centres of relevant expertise. Sites with a commercial emphasis are often more properly the realm of the Business hierarchy. More ephemeral material might more reasonably be submitted to an appropriate subcategory of Society/Issues. Finally, this category is for sites containing substantial material in the English language. As a courtesy, content not complying with this requirement will be redirected elsewhere within the Open Directory Project, as accurately as we are able to do this. |
Urban Economics is the study of resource-oriented behaviors and technologies in relation to human settlements, and of the consequent states and dynamics.Like any economic discipline, it has positive and normative subsets - concerned, respectively, with what actually occurs and with what should be happening (from any particular perspective). In Urban Economics, these subsets are often quite closely integrated, so the interpretation of content requires particular care.
