ABSTRACT

The 6th edition of this extremely popular and classic textbook has been updated to reflect ongoing changes in the field of property development. Attention is paid to the impact of the global financial crisis on the property development process and, in addition, to the increasing relevance of technology to the property profession.

Whilst the successful style and format of the text has been retained, new chapters have been added and existing chapters updated and enhanced to guide lecturers and students in their teaching, reading and studying. Other new features in this edition include:

  • Fully updated discussion points and reflective summaries
  • Examples of contemporary best practice based on international case studies covering the UK, USA and Australia
  • New chapters on ‘Property Cycles’ and ‘Technology’
  • Online materials for lecturers and students

This fully revised edition of a standard text for all property development and real estate students will also be of interest to early career professionals and those pursuing similar professional degrees in the industry and in wider built environment courses.
