Marxism And Real Estate Development Taking Lefebvre For Developers Seriously | Construction & Property

This book straddles two worlds and attempts to bring them together: that of Lefebvre's Marxism on the one hand and that of real estate development on the other. Lefebvre has now become a household name amongst many contemporary Marxists especially those with an interest in urban planning and certain quarters of the architectural profession however his work is far less well known by real estate professionals whether investors developers brokers or indeed policymakers. Marxism and Real Estate: Taking Lefebvre Seriously has both a large scope and a very bold aim – to use an explication and analysis of the work of Henri Lefebvre not only to present a critique of development but also to draw these two worlds together. It therefore first aims to present the arguments of this increasingly well-known French Marxist philosopher sociologist and pioneer of urban studies; second to situate contemporary real estate development in the light of Lefebvre's work; and third to analyse the potential application of Lefebvre’s work to each of the major components of contemporary real estate to use Lefebvre's work in order to recommend practical action for developers working alongside planners and architects to influence the future of global real estate. As well as its direction at developers themselves this book should be of interest to economists real estate researchers and professionals planners urban studies scholars and of course to those interested in the application of Lefebvre's work to real estate. |Marxism and Real Estate Development Taking Lefebvre for Developers Seriously | Construction & Property
