Mixed-Use Planning

Mixed-Use Planning explores the integration of residential, commercial, and industrial spaces to enhance urban environments. It argues that deliberately blending these zones can unlock a city's potential, fostering functionality, sustainability, and community well-being.

Historically, cities naturally featured mixed uses; however, 20th-century zoning led to separation, contributing to issues like urban sprawl. The book examines how reconnecting these zones addresses those challenges.

The book delves into the economic and environmental benefits of mixed-use planning, such as increased property values and a reduced carbon footprint, highlighting its potential for creating more resilient and equitable cities. It also explores the social impact, including enhanced social interaction and improved safety.

Mixed-Use Planning progresses from defining core concepts and principles to examining economic, environmental, and social dimensions, culminating in practical applications and policy recommendations for diverse urban contexts.
