This is an essential work for researchers, professionals, and public policymakers interested in the intersection of urban economics, technology, real estate finance, and territorial planning. Through an interdisciplinary approach, the book explores the deep transformations of the real estate sector over recent decades, with emphasis on the impact of global crises such as the 2008 collapse and the COVID-19 pandemic, and on the emergence of new dynamics driven by PropTechs, FinTechs, and digital urbanization models.
Key topics include: urban financialization, smart contracts, blockchain in real estate, asset tokenization, territorial intelligence, urban digital twins, real estate crowdfunding, ESG in real estate, intelligent social housing, and the integration of urban governance with geospatial data.
Grounded in a solid theoretical foundation and international case studies, the book offers a critical perspective on the relationships between technological innovation, territorial exclusion, and the right to the city, promoting an agenda of inclusive innovation, urban resilience, environmental sustainability, and responsible regulation of real estate capital.
Targeted at readers in the fields of urban planning, architecture, real estate law, economics, urban sociology, and territorial data science, this publication provides a comprehensive and updated view of the future of cities and land markets in the 21st century.
