Introduction

Real estate value is shaped by the interaction of economic forces, urban development processes, regulatory frameworks, and investment decisions. Understanding how cities grow, how land is developed, and how stakeholders influence supply and demand is essential for interpreting market behaviour and identifying value opportunities.

This training course provides a dual perspective on real estate: the economic systems that generate value and the valuation methods used to measure it. Participants will explore how planning, infrastructure, construction, and investment decisions contribute to value creation across different property types, including residential, commercial, industrial, and specialised assets.

The course also introduces internationally recognised valuation frameworks and applied techniques used by professional valuers, enabling participants to assess property value across different jurisdictions and market conditions.
