Planning, Land and Real Estate Development
Master

This specialisation provides a land and real estate development perspective on urban development. It prepares students for a future role as city developer, either in the public or private sector.
Population growth and economic growth lead to city expansion, while processes of obsolescence and decline lead to a demand for urban transformation projects. These processes usually require investments in land and property (re)development, while planning interventions provide guidelines to investors, sometimes as opportunities, but also as barriers. Climate change and policies for sustainable urban development have put new challenges to land and real estate investments, but have also created new opportunities for smart city developers.
The interaction between planning interventions and land and real estate investments is the central theme of this Master's specialisation. Starting from that interaction, the Master's specialisation pays attention to different planning instruments and their impact on land and real estate markets, the dynamics of land and real estate markets, investment behaviour by private and public developers, public private partnerships, land management strategies and value capturing mechanisms and smart land and real estate investment strategies.
Planning, Land and Real Estate Development is a specialisation of the Master's programme Spatial Planning.
