Urban Real Estate Investment A New Era of Opportunity

Authored by former HUD Secretary, Henry Cisneros, this book identifies the potential for real estate investment in over 40 metropolitan areas with strong, weak, and mixed prospects for economic growth. Trends that are positively impacting U.S. cities are explored, including the importance of building for sustainability, harnessing the power of advanced industries and anchor institutions, adding transit-related value, and encouraging mixed-income housing.
