From 2014 to 2020\, he taught a graduate course at NYU in urban economic planning\, “Markets\, Design\, and the City.” In his book\, “Order without Design: How Markets Shape Cities\,” published by MIT Press in November 2018\, he argues that a city’s chief attraction resides first in the people already living in it. People and firms\, through markets\, create a spontaneous order. The top-down design infrastructure that serves this spontaneous order\, not the other way around. Cities are primarily labor markets that form the substructure on which all the other social amenities are built. Bertaud previously held the position of principal urban planner at the World Bank\, where he worked on developing housing projects in India\, Pakistan\, and Bangladesh.
