We will focus on the nuts and bolts of an e ective tool for making smart redevelopment decisions using land value and economic analysis/projections. We will also discuss a case study in Gainesville, Florida, where an analysis put the theo- ries to work. The practical and on-the-ground application of the study revealed the bene ts and challenges that come with a greater understanding of economic factors.
