چکیده
to address the issue of how best to create stimulating, compelling, and functional urban environments in which to live, work, shop, visit, and play. The principal objectives of the book are to describe what has been learned through experience about developing mixed-use projects—from completing market analyses, feasibility studies, and development strategies to financing, planning and design, and marketing and management. Ten case studies delineate actual situations, strategies, and experiences, and the text draws on numerous examples throughout. The final chapter focuses on the most recent trends in mixed-use development and the outlook for this type of development.
