Fourteen contributor are brought together here from leading researchers and respected practitioners, including property analysts, economists, geographers, planners and sociologists. This rounded picture of property research explores:* the development of quantitative and qualitative research methods* theories ranging from mainstream economics to social constructivism* the inter-relationships between the economic and the social, and between individuals and organisations and their environmentsDevelopment and Developers highlights the benefits of different research approaches and methods, demonstrating how a more inclusive, multidisciplinary view of property research will connect to wider debates in urban studies.
