Seven Reasons to Pursue the Graduate Real Estate Certificate
(pdf, 20kb)
The University of Michigan program certainly recognizes the demand for drivable sub-urban development, the predominate approach to development over the past half century. However, the market pendulum has begun to swing back toward the other alternative, “walkable urbanism”. The focus of the UM program is creating places that have many uses within walking distance of one another, the definition of walkable urbanism. The Michigan real estate program is about building sustainable places that minimize the ecological footprint of the built environment. It is also about building a sense of place that encourages housing for all income levels and creating long-term wealth to motivate investors to care about the quality of the built environment. Ultimately, it is about building places that we can, at many levels, feel proud of our role in creating.
