Inlaid-Ivory Towers: Higher Education Joint-Use Facilities As Community Redevelopment Bulwarks, Michael N. Widener

Michael Widener

Community interest in occupation-based approaches to urban economic development remains strong in this country. This paper addresses how communities manage their way (adopting policies implicating land use and environmental sustainability principles by means of repurposing buildings while sharing additional community assets and “campus” leasing actions) to attract private sector higher education providers to establish its downtown as a node of intellectual stimulation, including cultural diversions. This paper identifies the goals of higher education institutions attracted to such an opportunity to expand their student bases in a time of heightened competition from proprietary institutions capitalizing on “career” orientations.

Open Access Dissertations and Theses

Marketing means much more than mere advertising: trying to sell what manufacturers have decided to produce. It means the honing of product lines to suit ever-shifting consumer tastes. Studying the relationship between production and consumption is central to understanding modern consumer society. Housing is one of the most important consumer products most people will ever buy. Houses not only provide shelter but also are central to their occupants’ identity. At the same time, housing production and consumption are vitally important to the health of the economy. Yet, despite the importance of housing, marketing practices in the speculative homebuilding industry have ...

Modelling Housing Prices And Credit Activity, Knowledge@Smu

Knowledge@SMU

Together, the housing and banking sectors of any capitalist nation can play an important hand in determining its overall economic health. This is clear from studies of booms and busts in the United States over this past decade and in Japan about three decades ago. A new econometric model now attempts to make sense of large changes in housing prices with corresponding changes in credit volume. The model was presented at a research seminar organised by SMU's School of Economics.
