PropTech and the Digital Evolution of Real Estate

As the age of technology rapidly displaces and augments all aspects of the built environment, including design, construction, leasing, financing, and operations, students must begin to think critically and rationally about these platforms. The rapid adoption of technology within the real estate industry has created a surge of activity across the lifecycle of new products, from conceptualization, beta development, funding, production introduction, and industry adoption. This course introduces topics relating to the current ecosystem of Property Technology (¿PropTech¿), the evolution of the sector, and an in-depth analysis of each aspect of this lifecycle through a survey of existing PropTech platforms.
