Mixed Use
Appropriately scaled building
blocks are enhanced by including retail and other uses along
the street to provide functional and interesting environments.
Mixing uses, such as office above retail, also provides the
opportunity for neighborhoods to be relatively self-sufficient,
avoiding lengthy trips for every errand. Ensuring a mix of uses
and housing types better accommodates the variety of today's
emerging workforce as well. Combined, these elements create
an active street life, which fosters community belonging and
increases the sense of security.
