| | | NPSG12-203 | | Mixed Use: Perception and Reality Speakers: Amber Hawkes, AICP, Urban Designer, Melendrez; Martin Leitner, AIA, Senior Designer, Urban Studio; Allan Kotin, Principal, Allan D. Kotin & Associates; Georgia Sheridan, AICP, Urban Designer, Torti Gallas and Partners Proposed as a cure-all, mixed-use is called forth to reduce traffic, improve walkability, boost economic development, and generate often intangible levels of urban 'livability.' This panel looks at when, where and how mixed-use development does and doesn't work from an architectural, urban design, planning, and economic perspective. Through an inter-disciplinary discussion, the panelists answer the following questions: Where does mixed-use work best? Why doesn't it work everywhere? Does mixed-use guarantee an active urban environment? When are the costs and challenges for mixed-use development worth it? | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
