Mixed-use developments are becoming an increasingly popular approach to urban planning.
Instead of separating residential, commercial and entertainment spaces, these developments bring multiple uses together within a single area.
The model can reduce travel distances while creating communities that remain active throughout the day.
For developers, mixed-use projects can also create multiple revenue streams.
As cities become more densely populated, this approach may play a larger role in shaping future urban neighborhoods.
