What is a Mixed-Use Neighborhood?
Mixed-use neighborhoods (also referred to as mixed-use developments, mixed-use construction, or mixed-use planning) provide comfortable pedestrian access to stores, restaurants and other businesses, co-mingled with residential areas, reducing the need to own cars and encouraging social connections, walkability, and active transportation.
Mixed-use planning strategies can:
- Revitalize neighborhoods
- Reduce congestion
- Boost the local economy and businesses
- Create safer streets
- Encourage walking and social connectivity
