A new framework for understanding the underpinnings of real estate property value and the role it plays in the larger economy.
Value in a Changing Built Environment examines the professional foundations on which the valuation exercise and the valuation profession rest.

The book offers a framework that paves the way towards a more holistic approach to property value.
Value in a Changing Built Environment unwraps many of the traditional assumptions that have underpinned market participants' decision making over the last few decades.
