Land, Real Estate and Development

The purpose of this research is to examine the relationships between land, land use, real estate, the process of development, and the social implications which arise from these various

In other words, ultimately, the success of land use and

development in the urban environment depends on the unification of design structures, systems, and goals of those individuals who are responsible for that use and development. If the

individuals so responsible are disunited, either consciously at odds with one another or merely disassociated through greed or poor planning, the city will ultimately suffer, sooner or later, as the evolution of that cityÆs development occurs. Poor planning in the early stages of development will manifest in later years as the disassociated parts of a city (land use, architectural harmony, transportation, business Incongruities, etc.) become more obviously, visually and utilitywise, nonunified.
