mixedusedevelopment
Dictionary meaning
a type of urban development that combines residential, commercial, cultural, institutional, or industrial uses within a single building, block, or neighbourhood rather than separating them into single-use zones; associated with walkable, vibrant street life, reduced car dependency, and more efficient use of land and infrastructure; embraced by New Urbanist planners and transit-oriented development advocates as an antidote to the car-centric suburban sprawl produced by mid-twentieth-century single-use zoning
