    Mixed-use developments can be categorized into three physical configurations: mixed-use towers, multi-towered mega-structures, and freestanding structures connected by pedestrian walkways. The appropriate configuration depends on factors like the site size and cost of land, with more vertical structures used on smaller, expensive urban sites and more horizontal development on larger, suburban sites. The climate must also be considered, as harsh weather may require a more enclosed mega-structure design.

    P.146 Physical and Structural Configurations The physical configuration of MXDs can be grouped into three broad categories- (not criterion of MXDs) o 1)mixed-use towers, o 2) multi-towered mega-structures o 3)freestanding structures with pedestrian connections

    examples: a compact urban site where land is expensive one large verticle structure, whereas a larger suburbia site would allow for more horizontal development A cold or harsh climate might dictate a more enclosed design, leading to a mega-structure, while moderate weather
