ECON 246 URBAN ECONOMICS
The Econ 246 Urban Economics course will focus on how maker spaces impact the economy and where establish and emerge after the 2008 great recession and the pandemic crisis. Maker spaces are collaborative and community-oriented spaces that provide access to productive tools, 3D printing technology, and resources for creating, designing, and building circular economy projects. Maker spaces can play a key role in shaping the structure and functions of a city. In summary, the maker space economy contributes to a productive economy and entrepreneurship by promoting innovation, skill development, local economic growth, job creation, collaboration, and sustainable practices. It plays a vital role in nurturing and supporting the creative potential of individuals and communities, leading to economic and societal benefits.
