Abstract: Aspects of sustainable construction investment and real estate development (CIRED) and their interrelations during the period pre-, intra-, and post-COVID-19, are presented in the research. Applications of the topic model, environmental psychology theory, building life cycle method, and certain elements of bibliometrics, webometrics, article level metrics, altmetrics, and scientometrics make it possible to perform a quantitative analysis on CIRED. The CIRED topic model was developed in seven steps. This paper aims to present a literature review on CIRED throughout the pandemic and to look at the responses from the real estate and construction sector. This sector is a field that appears to be rapidly expanding, judging from the volume of current research papers. This review focuses on last year’s leading peer-reviewed journals.

  • Exploring Gaps Between Real Estate Curriculum and Industry Needs: a Mapping Exercise
    Exploring gaps between real estate curriculum and industry needs: A mapping exercise Abdul-Rasheed Amidu, Osahon Ogbesoyen, and Alirat Olayinka Agboola Abstract The objective of this paper is to explore the extent to which current real estate academic curriculum align with industry needs in order to identify key areas for reform. A case study of four Universities was undertaken in the study. These cases were randomly selected from the Midlands, Northern and Southern parts of the UK. Data for the study was collected through a desk-top review of real estate curriculum from the four selected Universities and analysed using mind mapping approach. The study revealed that though knowledge from real estate academic curriculum aligns with the industry in six out of nine knowledge base areas, there were gaps in knowledge in the three areas considered most significant to the needs of industry. The study, therefore argues that universities may have dedicated enormous resources to educating real estate graduates in modules that are not necessarily essential to their daily job roles thereby leaving graduates in a position to rely on industry during their early employment. This study presents the findings of a mind mapping exercise which identifies the key areas of actual curriculum that show gaps in real estate education offered by selected universities in the UK. The findings are significant and could inform future curriculum reform. Keywords: Academic curriculum, Industry needs, Mind mapping, Real estate, UK 1. Introduction The education of real estate graduates has always been of keen interest to the different stakeholders of the profession: academic providers, professional bodies like the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and industry employers.

  • Gentrification and the Ethics of Home Katherine Joanne Nopper
    † Designated as an Exemplary Final Project for 2017-18 Gentrification and the Ethics of Home Katherine Joanne Nopper Faculty Advisor: Joseph Richard Winters Religious Studies African and African American Studies April 2018 This project was submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate Liberal Studies Program in the Graduate School of Duke University. Copyright by Katherine Joanne Nopper 2018 Abstract Gentrification is the subject of a recent wave of books and scholarship, continuing debates regarding the responsibilities of the “gentrifiers” and the impact of gentrifying landscapes on marginalized communities. This project looks in a different direction, using a multi-media approach to investigate the ethics of home in relation to aesthetics, architecture, capitalism and the culture industry. Strongly informed by the critical thought of Theodor Adorno, five essays bring multiple disciplines and theories together: Marxist geography (David Harvey, Neil Smith), architecture (Sarah Goldhagen, Lester Walker), philosophy and history (Walter Benjamin, Adorno), African American literature (Octavia Butler, Toni Morrison, Pauli Murray), and decolonial literature and thought (Ousmane Sembène, Franz Fanon, Aimé Césaire). Incorporating citations and literary passages, as well as the author’s own photography and linocut prints, the project images the contradictions inherent in the idea of home and emphasizes the impossibility of living an ethical life under capitalism. iii Contents Introduction………………………………...………………………………….1 Chapter One: Accumulation………………………………………………………....7 Chapter Two: Environment…………………………………...……………………30 Chapter Three: Proximity…………………………………………………….52 Chapter Four: Fetish…………………………………………………….……67 Chapter Five: Gentrifier…………………………………………………..….90 Bibliography…………………………………………………..……………103 iv Acknowledgments In my first weeks at Duke I was fortunate to meet my advisor, recognizing even then that my studies here would be profoundly influenced by our conversations and his enthusiasm.

  • Imminent Eminent Domain
    Imminent eminent domain: How public projects are impacting DAVID SHOWALTER Texas landowners SHOWALTER LAW BY BRANDI SMITH From pipelines that cross the state to high-speed rail plans that cut Texas in half, massive projects are underway that have a significant impact on property owners all over the Lone Star State. REDNews touched base with eminent domain expert, David Showalter, to discuss the biggest implications. Showalter, who got started in real estate law in 1977, has over 40 years of experience in real estate law. In addition to real estate development, he has handled hundreds of eminent domain cases in that time. His clients are a healthy mix of landowners, special-use properties, homeowners and business owners, large and small. He says as those issues face pending litigation, it will be interesting to see how they shake out. “This broad experience helps us because we see all facets of the process and how it affects different types of owners,” says Showalter. “We are more aware of, and sensitive to, the “There were projects, as many of your readers know, that were developed where information different ways that owners of property can be damaged and we can analyze each of those was available about the flooding risks in the two reservoir areas that flooded.
