ABSTRACT:
Mixed-use development is a type of urban development that blends residential,

commercial, cultural, institutional, or industrial uses, where those functions are
physically and functionally integrated, and that provides pedestrian
connections.[1][2] Mixed-use development can take the form of a single building, a
city block, or entire neighborhoods. The term may also be used more specifically
to refer to a mixed-use real estate development project—a building, complex of
buildings, or district of a town or city that is developed for mixed-use by a private
developer, (quasi-) governmental agency, or a combination thereof.
Traditionally, human settlements have developed in mixed-use patterns. However,
with industrialization as well as the invention of the skyscraper, governmental
zoning regulations were introduced to separate different functions, such as
manufacturing, from residential areas. In the United States, the heyday of separate-
use zoning was after World War II, but since the 1990s, mixed-use zoning has
once again become desirable as the benefits are recognized
INTRODUCTION:
One of the Urban Design Principles which cuts across many urban areas around the
globe is the principle of mixed- use development. Mixed-use development is the
practice of allowing more than one type of use in a building or set of buildings. In
planning terms, this can mean some combination of residential, commercial,
industrial, office, institutional or other land uses . This tends to create shorter
distance between work, residence and recreation and goes a long way to enhance
the livelihood of the inhabitants.
HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENTS:
Throughout human history, the majority of human settlements developed as mixed-

use environments. People lived in close proximity to their work. Walking was the
primary way that people and goods were moved about, sometimes assisted by
animals such as horses or cattle. Most people dwelt in buildings that were places of
work as well as domestic life, and made things or sold things from their own
homes. Increase in population and civilization led to the creation of markets and
market towns. People lived in close proximity to each other and at times at very
high densities because the amount of space required for daily living and movement
between different activities was determined by walkability and the scale of the
human body. As population increased leading to the rise in towns and cities,
several modification were made between domestic and occupational life. For
example, in some places the ground floor of buildings was often devoted to some
sort of commercial or productive use, with living space upstairs.
OBJECTIVES:
• To conduct a research into the concept of mixed-use developments as an urban

design approach
• To identify the various types and functions of mixed-used developments.
• To design mixed-use development complex can be used to solve some of urban

public fuss.
AIM:
 Greater housing variety and density

 Reduced distances between housing, workplaces, retail businesses, and other
destinations
 More compact development
 Stronger neighborhood character
 Pedestrian and bicycle-friendly environments
1. Residential- this consisted variety of house type and sizes.
2. Commercial- this will consist of shops offices, hotel, schools etc.

3. Recreational- this consist of two different parks. – a theme park and a multiple
userecreational park( lawn area for picnics, sports, weddings, etc.
4. Mixed use area. Consists of high rise structures for the multiple use of
commerce, residence and recreation. They were located towards the village core.
JUSTIFICATION:
 Encourages high quality design by providing both greater flexibility and

more control
 Preserves and enhances traditional village centers
 Promotes a village-style mix of retail, restaurants, offices, civic uses, and
multi-family housing
 Provides more housing opportunities and choices
 May increase affordable housing opportunities
 Enhances an area’s unique identity and development potential (e.g., village
centers, locations near bike paths, or “gateway” areas that announce a
community’s strengths)
 Promotes pedestrian & bicycle travel
 Reduces auto dependency, roadway congestion, and air pollution by co-
locating multiple destinations
 Promotes a sense of community
 Promotes a sense of place
 Encourages economic investment
 Promotes efficient use of land and infrastructure
 Guides development toward established areas, protecting outlying rural areas
and environmentally sensitive resources
 Enhances vitality
 Embodies “Smart Growth”
 Increases revenues
