The metropolitan areas that make up our primary real estate markets are complicated places. Yet there are discernible and sometimes predictable interactions among the concentrated technological, ecological, cultural, and economic networks that comprise these places. Interpretations of urban phenomena are also diverse and evolving. To accurately understand these urban dynamics is to hold a critical advantage in the world of real estate. The following two presentations offer different takes on the nature of our cities and their maturing suburbs. The first focuses mainly on what to expect and strive for in the redevelopment of suburban properties. The second is a more general, historically based reinterpretation of the prevailing talking points on urban sprawl (and even mentions KC a bit). There are some complementary strands, but differences prevail between the perspectives and, accordingly, in the implications for real estate professionals.
