Beschreibung:
This course is in English only. It is a "Wahlpflichtfach" (elective out of a compulsory canon of electives) for REAP and Urban Planning Master students. Others are welcome. The course earns 5 CP.

We cover:
• Basic economic terms and concepts for characterizing technical urban infrastructure systems: cost structure, economies of scale and scope, market forms, horizontal and vertical integration, natural monopoly, deregulation and reregulation, liberalization and privatization, unbundling, network externalities, path dependency.
• Examples of and experiences with different regulatory regimes for technical urban infrastructure systems (laws and provisions by regulatory agencies that shape the market for investment in and operation of technical facilities) from Germany, EU, and world wide
• Legal and economic framework for the planning and the approval of infrastructure projects (focus on Germany by way of example)
• Case studies of the planning, funding, realization and management of technical urban infrastructure projects.
• Each year, we focus on one or two infrastructure systems. This coming winter term 2023/2024, photovoltaics will be one of those.

Also, we might do a half-day excursion to an infrastructure facility or demo site in the Hamburg region.

This course is taught by Prof. Peters (who is the module coordinator and has the largest share in the course), Prof. Weidlich and Prof. Wickel.

This course is offered in such a format that you can participate online. We will try out the hybrid format, might also stream into class a speaker who is not in Hamburg, or have the entire class session online. The format of individual class meetings will be announced in advance, and in this, we will take consideration of your class schedule.

We start Tuesdays 09:00 a.m. sharp.

The electronic learning platform is Moodle. Once enrolment in this course has been completed, you will receive access data to the Moodle platform from your module coordinator.
