If you go to the IGC web site, you will discover the BREAD-IGC virtual PhD-level

course in economics. The topic for 2024 is urbanisation and the economics of cities

in low and middle-income countries. Ed Glaeser and Diego Puga gave the first talk,

about the dynamic city. They talk to Tim Phillips about what attracts people to cities,

how those cities constantly change and adapt to the needs of those new arrivals,

and the urgent need for research into how cities grow and change outside high-

income countries.
