The Joseph E. Corcoran Center for Real Estate and Urban Action is a professional research platform focusing on real estate economy, urban space planning, urban renewal construction and regional real estate investment layout. It closely combines macro urban development trends with micro real estate market operation rules, and provides objective data analysis and trend judgment for industry development and academic research.

The core research scope covers urban functional area planning, old urban community renewal and transformation, cross-regional real estate investment risk assessment, commercial real estate operation mode and affordable housing security system construction. The center relies on accurate regional economic data and real estate market transaction data to carry out trend research, with strong practical guidance.
It maintains close cooperative relations with urban planning departments, real estate investment institutions and urban construction research institutions in many regions, jointly carrying out urban development research and real estate industry trend research. It also opens professional industry research courses and practical project research projects for students, attracting many overseas students who are engaged in urban planning, real estate finance and urban economic research to study and exchange here, and its industry research reports are widely referenced by overseas real estate industry practitioners and academic researchers.
