Benefits
Benefits of mixed-use development include:[3][4]
greater housing variety and density, more affordable housing (smaller units), life-cycle housing (starter homes to
larger homes to senior housing)
reduced distances between housing, workplaces, retail businesses, and other amenities and destinations
better access to fresh, healthy foods (as food retail and farmers markets can be accessed on foot/bike or by transit)
more compact development, land-use synergy (e.g. residents provide customers for retail which provide amenities
for residents)
stronger neighborhood character, sense of place
walkable, bike-able neighborhoods, increased accessibility via transit, both resulting in reduced transportation costs
