The Executive Masters in Entrepreneurial Real Estate is now in it's second monthly session. Today and tomorrow we are learning from Professor Jim Scott about various theories of urban planning through the study of 21 authors on the subject. Extensive reading for this course has created a solid understanding of the challenges, purposes and practicality of developing, managing and conforming to a well thought out urban plan. From Paris, to New York, to Chicago, St, Louis and Kansas City, how they all grew the way thed did and why?
Did you know Edmund Bacon, the planner who re- designed the City of Philadelphia during the depression was Kevin Bacon's dad? (yes Kevin Bacon the actor)
Jan Marcussen, 4th district councilperson shared her perspectives this morning about the City of Kansas City's role and circumstances about the Polsinelli building proposed for the Country Club Plaza. Extremely interesting "back story" behind it all. There are many lessons we can learn from it all.
Tomorrow we hear from the "Friends of the Plaza" to hear their side of the story. This will be an interesting perspective.
Saturday, Dr. Jeff Englested from University of Denver will kick off the "Advanced Real Estate Financial Modeling Course" using Excel.
