About this listen
Cities are always changing: streets, infrastructure, public spaces, and buildings are constantly being built, improved, demolished, and replaced. But even when a new project is designed to improve a community, neighborhood residents often find themselves at odds with the real estate developer who proposes it.
Savvy developers are willing to work with residents to allay their concerns and gain public support, but at the same time, a real estate development is a business venture financed by private investors who take significant risks. Peter Hendee Brown explains the interests, motives, and actions of real estate developers, using case studies to show how the basic principles of development remain the same everywhere, even as practices vary based on climate, local culture, and geography.
How Real Estate Developers Think considers developers from three different perspectives. Brown profiles the careers of individual developers to illustrate the character of the entrepreneur; considers the roles played by innovation, design, marketing, and sales in the production of real estate; and examines the risks and rewards that motivate developers as people. Ultimately, How Real Estate Developers Think portrays developers as creative visionaries who are able to imagine future possibilities for our cities and communities and shows that understanding them will lead to better outcomes for neighbors, communities, and cities.

Raising capital is the single most sought-after and lucrative skill in the entire real estate sector. It's the one skill that, if truly mastered, can ensure you’ll always have a place in the world of investment real estate. Unfortunately, the pervasive myth that’s perpetuated throughout the real estate sector is that if you have a great deal, the money will just show up. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Thirty years after its publication, The Death and Life of Great American Cities was described by The New York Times as "perhaps the most influential single work in the history of town planning....[It] can also be seen in a much larger context. It is first of all a work of literature; the descriptions of street life as a kind of ballet and the bitingly satiric account of traditional planning theory can still be read for pleasure even by those who long ago absorbed and appropriated the book's arguments."

Excellent teaching using real developers and their developments as examples
This book is exceptionally well written and narrated. I have never developed a property. This book gave a wealth of information about the development team, the process, the market, and the trials and triumphs of developing. I would recommend it to anyone who was never developed a property before.

Excellent For Aspiring Developers
I am a developer. Have never read a book on development until this one. Figured a lot of this stuff out through trial and error. The book spoke to me because it confirmed many of things I’m already doing and provided some clarity on things I’m not. Wish I read this book when I started.
