Bringing residents, jobs, shops, entertainment, and lodging closer together in compact mixed-use environments is "smart growth."
Residents, workers, customers, and visitors park once and walk between uses, without making multiple driving trips.
This synergy among uses is typical of traditional downtowns developed over time by many property owners, and modern town centers and other mixed-use projects that are planned and developed by a single owner/developer.
Wells + Associates has found that mixed-use districts significantly reduce peak hour trip generation and peak parking demands. |
