Opis

Traditional studies of the property market have tended to focus solely on commercial and legal issues, but the growing importance of the issue of sustainability means that a different approach is needed. This new textbook takes a robust overview of property within a market context, examining the complex nature of property rights and issues related to its specialist nature both from an investment and an occupier point of view. At the same time it assesses property from the perspective of financial, social and environment sustainability.
