Recenzje

"[T]his book provides a wide spectrum of real estate development approaches in a range of markets, which can be viewed through an institutional lens to understand the linkages in "environments, markets, agencies, processes and outcomes". It is an important reference source for students and researchers, and paves the way for stimulating further comparative research, particularly between the global south and global north." – Piyush Tiwari, Construction Economics and Building, University of Melbourne, Australia
