Economic activity is highly unevenly distributed across space, as reflected by the existence of cities. In 2018, about 831 million Chinese people crowded together in the urban part, accounting for 1 percent of the country’s land. Cities have been engines of growth. Cities are also filled with things to see, buy, taste, and learn. However, density also means congestion, makes living and commuting costly, and concentrates exposure to pollution and disease. This course aims to teach students how to apply the latest thinking and research in urban economics to analyze a series of topics related to urbanization in China and other urban-related issues worldwide. Students will learn how economists think about cities. We will explore why cities exist as they do, the natures, determinants, and impacts of geographic organization of economic activities, and a variety of urban policy issues such as the household registration system (hukou), the reforms in land and housing markets, urban land-use policies, transportation infrastructure investment, city and environment, spatial arrangements of educational resources, neighborhood transitions, and place-based policies. Students will learn about urban economic theory and analysis of empirical data sets in the context of addressing important urban-related questions. Empirical examples will be taken primarily from China, the United States, and some European countries. After taking this course, students will comprehensively understand the standard urban theory and empirical evidence on various important applied urban topics. This course will prepare students with many of the necessary tools to undertake their research in urban economics and related fields.

Through the combination of theory and practice, students are encouraged to understand China and the Chinese people on the basis of understanding, and to have dialogues with China and the Chinese people, so as to cultivate a broad perspective, an open, inclusive mentality and a global perspective.

This course is jointly designed by on-campus faculty and the innovation project research team at Dell Technologies, integrating the processes of innovation product development, practical application, and market usage. It imparts innovative thinking and practices within the context of technological transformation. The course content is structured around the framework of Sun Tzu's "The Art of War," with a focus on the three essential elements of corporate innovation: "strategy," "resources," and "people." It elaborates on both the theory and practical aspects of corporate innovation.

The innovation theory encompasses concepts such as "choosing the right people for the right roles" (utilizing the potential of product design and the concept of a three-stage rocket), "knowing oneself and knowing the enemy" (trial and error and how to approach it), "the battle of the nine territories" (product execution), "using the superior position to defeat the enemy's plans" (streamlined development), and "waiting at ease for the exhausted enemy" (the theory of ice and snowflakes), among others.

The consideration of innovative practices includes analyzing the pros and cons of the starting point of innovation (choosing to create a proprietary brand or join a franchise), early-stage cost control (what to try, what not to try, and how to minimize iteration), mid-term efficient execution (how to strategize, standardize, and adopt an altruistic mindset), and quality after-sales service (putting the customer first).
