I found the Urban Economics course to be quite informative, with a good balance of theoretical foundations and practical applications. The instructor's explanations were clear and concise, and I appreciated the use of examples from different cities around the world. One of the most useful aspects of the course was the analysis of urban transportation systems - it really helped me understand the complexities of designing efficient public transit networks. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, although I did find some of the readings to be a bit dry at times. Overall, I'm glad I took the course and would recommend it to others interested in urban planning and development.

I approached the Urban Economics course with a mix of excitement and trepidation, but I'm pleased to say that it delivered on its promises. The course content was thorough and well-structured, with a good balance of theoretical and practical aspects. I found the lectures on urban poverty and inequality to be particularly thought-provoking, and I appreciated the instructor's efforts to provide nuanced and context-specific examples. The course materials were generally of high quality, although I did encounter some minor technical issues with the online platform. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others interested in urban economics and development, particularly those from the African region.
