Despite the central role that real estate development plays in the physical form and geography of buildings, cities, and suburbs in market economies, scholars have engaged in relatively little research on the inner workings of its figures and processes in relation to the built environment.

Greetings. I'm curious if anyone has some additional knowledge about how the British Empire set about organising itself - and about New Zealand's Treaty of Waitangi in 1840 which was the first where indigenous people co-signed an agreement with the Crown.
