People may find out more about their neighborhood as they walk, bike or take public transportation.
Mixing uses and density, in general, work best for individuals or families that are comfortable interacting with others and who don’t crave large tracts of personal space.
Studies show that the presence of more people and bustle can translate into safer streets , as people are less likely to commit crimes with so much activity happening around them.
Mixed use neighborhoods are usually more compact, with less sprawl. With density come benefits like new and exciting businesses and a lively street with a lot of visual interest – where residents no longer have to get into their car for every errand or social engagement .
