Explanation
Mixed-use development combines different land uses—residential, retail, office, and sometimes hospitality or cultural uses—in a single building or a coordinated development. Mixed-use projects are common in urban areas like Chicago's neighborhoods (e.g., residential above retail) and suburban town centers. They promote walkability, reduce car dependence, and can create vibrant, activated streetscapes. Illinois zoning codes have been updated to permit and encourage mixed-use development.
