Mixed-use development is a planning practice used in urban, suburban, and rural areas that combines two or more different types of land uses - such as residential, commercial, services, and entertainment - in a compact setting that emphasizes pedestrian connectivity. Mixed-use development typically emphasizes pedestrian orientation and connectivity, multi-modal transportation, compact residential development, open space preservation, interconnected streets, and integration of uses. Proposals for development feature horizontal (adjacent to each other) and/or vertical (in the same building) mixed-use designs. The economic, environmental, and social benefits of mixed-use benefits will be evaluated.

Course Objectives
At the end of this webinar, you will be able to:
  • Identify the basic components for horizontal and vertical mixed-use development in urban settings.
  • Research different mixed-use developments by reviewing case studies to identify similarities, differences, and potential enhancements that improve a community's safety and well-being.
  • Contrast the social, economic, and physical properties of mixed-use developments with traditional urban developments and land use patterns to benefit the welfare of the community. 
  • Develop a framework for identifying opportunities and standard characteristics for site planning of mixed-use developments that improve community safety and security.
