We will start today by discussing the paper by William Rees and chapter 8 by Matt Kahn. Both of these are related to urban sustainability and offer opposing perspectives: Rees comes from the ecological economics perspective, while Kahn comes more from the neoclassical tradition. Here are the discussion questions for Rees and Kahn. We will proceed with the lecture material on housing and then get into traffic congestion and urban transit.
