Mixed Use
Established at scales from Hamlet to Urban Quarter, mixed use centers sustain local activities and services for all residents within the pedestrian shed.
Commercial program ranges from 5,000 to 500,000 sq.ft. and local population supporting the center ranges from 300 to 3,000 households.
- MOVEMENT ECONOMY: Centers may locate comfortably around local arterials, when vehicle speed can be slowed and on street parking is provided.
- RESIDENCES: Complementing an optimum intensity of the specific center, dwellings are smaller – with more attached and stacked types, often above ground floor businesses.
- COMMERCE: Mix of retail, workplace, and services varies with many factors of the setting, and social or recreational program may define the primary identity.
- CIVIC USE: Spaces for assembly, education, and the arts are allocated to prominent locations of a place, and the buildings given distinct character.
