The workshop is going to be an open and diverse space for sharing reflections on the state-of-the-art of Urban Economics and the topics of large-scale urban projects, real estate dynamics and gentrification. On one hand, the Workshop is going to offer an opportunity to learning and theoretical discussion, with a mini-course and with round-tables. On the other hand, it is going to socialize the results of the research project “Large-scale urban projects: the State and the Gentrification on the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte”, a research project conducted by Cedeplar/UFMG and funded by Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. This is going to be a moment for renowned experts in the field debate the empirical results of this research.
The participation of young scholars is encouraged, and generously supported by the Institute of New Economic Thinking, through its Young Scholars Initiative, promoting the dissemination of plural academic debate. The young scholars who wish travel stipends must meet the following requirements to participate:
