#LSEEnvironmentWeek #Macroeconomics
The lecture series addressed a core issue in urban economics - transportation - using both theoretical insights and practical applications. The emphasis on how transportation systems influence economic productivity and urban inequality resonated with attendees, showcasing the tangible impacts of well-designed or poorly implemented policies. The lecture's balanced focus on equity, efficiency, and sustainability further enriched its appeal, making it highly relevant for addressing pressing urban challenges in both developed and developing countries.
There was a great combination of theory, practical research and clear research gaps. I felt the language was accessible for someone starting to explore urbanisation economics, and the speakers were very engaging.
The BREAD-IGC virtual PhD course starts in just 48 hours with our largest-ever group of participants! 🎉
