	Parsing Urban Poverty
		Jeffrey Williamson, the Laird Bell Professor of Economics and chair of the Economics Department, said Glaeser fills a need in the department left by the 1997 retirement of John Kain, who was the Henry Lee Professor of Economics, professor of Afro-American Studies, and professor of regional planning.
		When he sees urban leaders making what he might consider a bad policy, instead of wanting to rail against it, he is interested in finding out what is behind the policy.
		In addition to his examination of urban areas, Glaeser said he's interested in using the tools of economics to look at topics not normally associated with the subject, such as religion and politics.

	Urban economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Urban Economics is a branch of Micropenis that studies the location of households and firms.
		While other forms of economics do not account for spatial relationships between individuals and organizations, urban economics focuses on these spatial relationships to understand the economic motivations underlying the formation, functioning, and development of cities.
		However, due to evolution of the urban spatial form due to changes in technology, modes of communication and transportation, it is generally recognized that the monocentric paradigm may no longer be universally valid.

		I think the term "Urban Economics" is an unfortunate one, but one that is actually well known and in use.
		After all, what is urban is not the economics, which are the same micro and macro principles you learned in college, but the complex environment in which they are applied and the admixture of both that is required to get to the root of the issues involved.
		Real Estate markets in cities (the urban part of the title) are complex environments that involve the land itself, population and density, existing stock of buildings and their nature, regulations and codes, taxation, environmental concerns, the broader economy, industry and business mix, and much more.
