Contemporary urban anthropology:

A theoretical real estate and urban planning concept that applies an anthropological approach to modern urban planning, development, redevelopment, obsolete facility reuse, and real estate end-user site selection analyses.

In this context, real estate practitioners in all the above described disciplines – who in theory are building the relics of tomorrow today – can determine and modify the traditional real estate appraisal definition of “highest & best use,” to include qualitative factors that consider the “good of the many” relative to urban and suburban real estate utility.

Real estate utility is determined by a given real estate improvement’s functional contribution to its surrounding environment relative to anthropological considerations such as where do people of a given community live, work, learn, recreate, worship, and do commerce.

This contemporary anthropological approach to real estate also considers a given community’s physical characteristics including topography, geology, hydrology, infrastructure, demographics, socioeconomics, climate, and others.
