Benefits

The ideals and reality of mixed use as the preferred urban form are still in their relative infancy as part of the 21st century development vocabulary. Ironically, the ideals behind the tremendous push for this development form reference the urban fabric of our oldest cities. The driving factors behind the attraction to the mixed use model include current trends and attitudes toward a more urban lifestyle, changing demographics and psychographics, sustainable design trends and codification of the mixed use form in our development ordinances. Yet the current economic environment may provide even more significant challenges to planning and implementing successful mixed use projects that require a complex matrix of skill sets and collaborations between design professionals, developers, leasing agents, tenants, municipal planners, land use attorneys, local government and communities. This live audio conference will evaluate some of the new challenges and opportunities available for mixed use design from site selection to plan approvals and operations. We'll discuss selected topics from a 360-degree perspective of the designer, developer, tenant, resident, municipality and end user.
