Urban Economics and Real Estate: Theory and Policy

I believe this is a very nice book. I haven't found or read any others like this, except for the book Economic Geography I beleive, which is the one from Princeton University Press with the brigde on the cover. I have only gone through the first several chapters of that one, and it is almost totally theoretical and mathematical and goes over proofs and developing mathematical models like you would see in a calculus course. This book is actually readable like a book, not just developing mathematical models to simulate the economic principles. This book requires algebra with a only little bit of calculus I beleive.This book is very good and explains the familiar topics in this field such as trade offs in distance, estimating population growth etc, but I have only gone through the first 3 chapters so far, so haven't really begun. I have skimmed through though and I would definately recommend it for budding real estate pros, and investors like me. Plus, it has homework problems at the end of the chapters so you can learn the material.

Nice book for undergraduate teaching. Full of intuitions and examples. The part on the monocentric model and gradients, the structure of cities is particularly interesting.
