 Mixed land use refers to co‐existence of more than one land use on a common ground, be it a floor, building
or street.
.
 Mixed use has been a part of our cities since historic times. It is a pattern, how our cities and communities
grow. It has been globally proven that mixed use development cuts down on travel time, cost and fuel
consumption by bringing facilities closer. It is a potential tool for sustainable development. Therefore, cities
world‐wide are publishing toolkits and guidelines to develop and redevelop mixed use areas. Mixed land use
as development pattern and planning strategy will therefore be a major issue in the future of cities and for
Indian urbanization.
 The point of concern is the way mixed use development is taking shape in our cities. As mentioned earlier,
cities all the world are developing detailed guidelines to introduce mixed use while in cities like Chennai,
mixed use has been rather permitted on what is where it is‘ basis.
 The debate between mixed land use and segregated land use is a long and continuing one throughout the
world. The former being traditional and runs far back in history, the latter based on modern developments of
automobile and technologies.
 The concept of mixed‐use urban areas is the oldest one in human history, throughout the world, from the
ancient towns of India, Greece and China, to the delightful mix of uses and buildings created over centuries
that endure today in such vibrant cities as Delhi, London, Paris, Cairo, Tokyo and Beijing.
 Even now the core of almost all Indian, and other old world cities, exhibit a high degree of intensive mixing of
land use. In Indian context prime example being, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru, etc.
 Take any old city throughout the world which has self‐evolved and organic will exhibit mixed land use,
whatever the scale of city might be.
During the mid‐20th century, however, several trends and developments converged to undermine this concept of
mixed land use developments.
 The rise of automobile as the dominant mode of transportation, which led to much more horizontal, low‐
density, and dispersed patterns of land use and development.
 Growing affluence, which has allowed a growing number of house‐holds to live in large homes, further
encouraging horizontal land use patterns, reducing easy pedestrian connection; and separation of uses into
discrete districts.
 The implementation of land use regulations and zoning laws that although intended to create order through
the control and separation of land uses, essentially made it illegal to mix uses in newly developing areas.
Although this pattern prevailed for most of the 20th century, as we entered in a new millennium, a neo‐
traditional‖ approach in form of mixed land use models is emerging. Although these models have not been
dominant, they have been more than influential. Many development plans have now incorporated mixed land
use as planning policy. In fact, most of the core areas of Indian cities are typically mixed in nature, organic in their
form.
AIM -
To integrate mixed use into urban development i.e., to have integrated planning for folk, place
and work.
OBJECTIVE -
 To analyze the mixed use development pattern in Chennai

.
 Define and understand the specific problems being caused in the mixed use settlement.
 Understand the space form and morphology.

 To study the prevailing situation of mixed-use development in Chennai.
 To analyze the feasibility and viability of the project.

play, and shop and socialize in one place.\
 To reduce the long distance travelling and traffic congestion which is paralyzing the urban areas in
Chennai.
LITERATURE REVIEW
WHAT IS MIXED LAND USE? The definition of mixed use is ambiguous.
The difficulty in defining mixed use lies in the fact that there are several ways of mixing land uses and
almost infinite forms of development.
DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS
“Mixed use development means a building, or buildings, in which two or more uses are carried out”
City of Sydney (CoS, 2005 page 50)

“A single building or site accommodating three or more uses such as residential, hotel, commercial,
industrial, entertainment, education, medical or recreation”
Property Council of Australia (McDonald, 2008)

“Provision of a mix of complementary uses, such as residential, community and leisure uses, on a
site or within a particular area”
Planning Portal UK (Planning Portal, 2009)

“Mixed use development means a building or place comprising two or more different land uses”
Parramatta City Council (PCC, 2009 page 97)
Mixed use development is the practice of allowing more than one type of use in a building or set of
buildings. Such that there are several different, but compatible and interdependent land uses
located on the same or adjacent lots to mutual benefit.
In planning terms, this can mean some combination of residential, commercial, industrial, office,
institutional or other land uses. This tends to create shorter distance work, residence and recreation
and goes a long way to enhance the livelihood of the inhabitants.
The Mixed land use concept in today‘s time is oriented towards the integration of the commercial
and residential land uses on a scale that is
 Smaller
 Pedestrian friendly
 Linked to transit
Mixed land use enables a range of land uses including residential, commercial, cultural,
institutional and where appropriate, industrial uses, to be co-located in an integrated way that
supports sustainable forms of transport such as public transport, walking and cycling, and increases
neighborhood amenity
The basics of Mixed use development:
 Seek to create pedestrian friendly environments with a variety of uses that enable people to live,
work, play, and shop in one place.
 Include several different uses that work together and share infrastructure, utilities, and public
amenities.
 Typically higher in density than a single use development.
 Types of mixed use developments:
Vertical Mixed Use Buildings
o Combo of different users within the same building
o Generally the lower floor would be utilized by a commercial user with residential use located
above.
Horizontal Mixed Use Sites
o Single use buildings on district parcels in a range of land uses within one planned development
project.
Mixed-Use Walk able Areas

o Combine both vertical and horizontal mix of uses in an area within an approximately 10 minute
walking distance to core activities
 More efficient use of land & infrastructure
o Retail use can share parking facilities with residential uses because their peak hours for parking
do not overlap substantially.
• People living in apartments above retail establishments help reduce potential for vandalism
because for all intents and purposes there are no off-hours.
 The development of a neighborhood, tract of land, building, or structure with a variety
of complementary and integrated uses, such as, but not limited to, residential, office,
manufacturing, retail, public, and recreation, in a compact urban form.
 Central business districts are examples of mixed use developments, but they generally develop
over long periods of time and often without a plan. A very early example is Rockefeller Center in
New York City.
 Smart growth advocates cite the advantages of mixed use developments in reducing traffic
congestion by locating homes and jobs within easy commuting distance and integrating shopping
and related facilities into residential neighborhoods
.
EVOLUTION OF MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT- HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

The concept of mixed use is one of the oldest in human history from the ancient towns of Greece,
China and India to the present mix of land uses that continue today in major cities of London, Tokyo,
Paris & Beijing.
All the old cities in the world which have developed in an organic fashion, exhibit a mix of land uses.
(irrespective of their scale).
LITERATURE STUDY
• Activates urban areas during more hours of the day
• Increases housing options for diverse household types
• Reduces auto dependence
• Increases travel options
• Creates a local sense of place
• Economic stimulus – Mixing residences and retail brings together buyers and sellers in the same project,
resulting in more profitable real estate.
• Shared facilities – A mix of office, retail and entertainment uses can share parking spaces and utility systems.
• Internal trip capture – mixed use projects generate 5 to 25 percent less vehicle trips due to internal trips.
BENEFITS OF MIXED‐USE DEVELOPMENT
The medieval cities in the west usually developed inside the fortified areas for defense purposes and
had multiple use of spaces, which were an integrated fabric to a human scale.
The medieval village is a perfect example of a functional, productive, community, incorporating all
of the rules of mixed-use development.
The medieval towns in India which were planned on the basis of caste & occupation, also consisted of
self-sufficient neighborhood.
Thus, the land uses were typically mixed throughout the history until the emergence of the ‗Industrial
City‘ wherein the modern planned cities having segregation of different land-uses, i.e., residential,
commercial and industrial were created. Mixed use was side lined and segregated land use became
popular during first half of the 20th century.
Mixed use development has evolved over time and in each era it has been either, a natural, an
undesirable or a preferred occurrence depending on the external trends of the time.
Mixed use has had many faces and as such has been treated differently through the ages by each
respective urban authority.
 The Traditional – This was when mixed use was part of the natural organic growth of cities. City was
limited in size due to the technology of the time, as well as the need for defense.
 The Undesirable – The industrial revolution led to the creation of dirty industries that needed to be
located near the city because of the lack of transport. Once the transport started, people were able to
move away from the residences for work. Land use zoning was born during this period and mixed use
was unfavourable.
 The Debateable – This is where the perspective on mixed use currently stands. Zoning has been
criticizes for its assistance in creating the sprawling suburb.
 Modern critics cite urban sprawl as ecologically unsustainable and that the future of healthy‘
development lies in the integration of land uses and a reversal to traditional development styles.
 The Revolutionary – Current planning trends and ambitious research have lead professionals to
believe that mixed use developments are a solution for good urban developments.
MIXED USE TYPOLOGY
VERTICAL MIXED USE: Combines different uses in the same building. Lower
floors should have more public uses with more private uses on the upper floors.
In more urban areas, an entire block or neighborhood may be

composed of vertical mixed-use building.
HORIZONTAL MIXED USE: Combines single-use buildings on

distinct parcels in a range of land uses within one block. In
more urban areas, this approach avoids the financing and
coding complexities of vertical layered uses while achieving the
goal of place making that is made possible by bringing together
complementary uses in one place. In less urban areas,
horizontal mixed-use offers the advantage of sharing utilities
and amenities while providing an easier to build and entitle mix
of uses within a walk able block circumscribed by
thoroughfares.
MIXED-USE WALKABLE NEIGHBOURHOOD: With the

infinite number of various possibilities, these places combine
vertical and horizontal use mixing in an area ideally within a 5
to 10 minute walking distance (a pedestrian shed) or quarter
mile radius of a neighborhood center.
SOME OF THE ADVANTAGES OF MIXED LAND USE ARE:
• Greater housing variety and density, more affordable housing (smaller units), life- cycle housing
(starter homes to larger homes to senior housing)
• Creation of an economic efficient blend compatible Landuse
• Land May be utilized efficiently & optimal, more compact development, land-use synergy (e.g.
residents provide customers for retail which provide amenities for
residents)
• Stronger neighborhood character, sense of place, walkable, bike-able neighborhoods, increased
accessibility via transit, both resulting in reduced transportation costs
• Convenience in Business, nearness of residence low operating cost.
• Creates Suitable Environment for Small Investments which does not easily find place in
specialized zones.
• Reduce travel Distances &Time between housing, workplaces, retail businesses, and other
amenities and destinations
• Provides earning opportunities to Female members, old people and others
• Reduction in Crime ( UK studies show Reduction in Crime rate)
• Can Use obsolete property including Listed Buildings
• Better access to fresh, healthy foods (as food retail and farmers markets can be accessed on
foot/bike or by transit).
SOME OF THE DISADVANTAGES OF MIXED LAND USE ARE:
• Mixed type of traffic resulting in traffic congestion ,Spilling of activities on the roads causing
congestion
• Environmental pollution & noise pollution ,Very high density sometimes leading to a slum like
condition
• If designated parking spaces are not provided for the non-residential uses the customers or visitors
tend to park the Vehicles on the streets hence taking away good amount of portion of the
carriageway.
• When non-residential uses operate from residential premises they tend to pay the taxes under the
residential slab thus causing huge losses to the local governments,
• Neighborhoods tend to lose the residential character when other uses begin to dominate.
• Variety of uses increases the pressure on the infrastructure like water, sewerage etc.
• Mixed-use commercial space is often seen as being best suited for retail and small offices. This
precludes its widespread adoption by large corporations and government facilities.
• Construction costs for mixed-use development currently exceed those for similarly sized, single-use
buildings; challenges include fire separations, sound attenuation, ventilation, and egress.
• Additional costs arise from meeting the design needs. In some designs, the large, high-ceilinged,
column less lower floor for commercial uses may not be entirely compatible with the smaller scale of
the walled residential space above.
MIXED USE- TODAY
New Urbanism Mixed-use development today is conceptually more akin to the mixed-use
commercial corner at the transit stop shown at the transit stop shown at the start of the presentation, but
also incorporates lessons of mixed-use developments of the past fifty years.
Whereas the 1970‘s concept of MXDs was oriented toward creating activity or event centres,
today‘s concept of mixed use is oriented more toward integrating commercial an housing activity on a
smaller scale that is pedestrian-friendly and linked to transit. Mixed uses are central to the principles of
Transit Oriented Developments (TODs), Traditional Neighborhood Developments (TNDs), Livable
Communities and Smart Growth.
Mixed use development

encourages compact development
through increased density.
Throughout most of human history, the majority of human settlements developed as mixed-use
environments. Walking was the primary way that people and goods were moved about, sometimes
assisted by animals such as horses or cattle. Most people dwelt in buildings that were places of work as
well as domestic life, and made things or sold things from their own homes. Most buildings were not
divided into discrete functions on a room by room basis, and most neighborhoods contained a diversity of
uses, even if some districts developed a predominance of certain uses, such as metalworkers, or textiles
or footwear due to the socio-economic benefits of propinquity. People lived at very high densities because
the amount of space required for daily living and movement between different activities was determined
by walkability and the scale of the human body. This was particularly true in cities, and the ground floor of
buildings was often devoted to some sort of commercial or productive use, with living space upstairs.
This historical mixed-used pattern of development declined during industrialization in favor of

large-scale separation of manufacturing and residences in single-function buildings. This period saw
massive migrations of people from rural areas to cities drawn by work in factories and the associated
businesses and bureaucracies that grew up around them. These influxes of new workers needed to be
accommodated and many new urban districts arose at this time with domestic housing being their primary
function. Thus began a separating out of land uses that previously had occurred in the same spaces.
Furthermore, many factories produced substantial pollution of various kinds. Distance was required to
minimize adverse impacts from noise, dirt, noxious fumes and dangerous substances. Even so, at this
time, most industrialized cities were of a size that allowed people to walk between the different areas of
the city.
Jacobs' influential The Death and Life of Great American Cities argued that a mixture of uses is
vital and necessary for a healthy urban area.
Zoning laws have been revised accordingly and increasingly attempt to address these problems
by using mixed-use zoning. A mixed-use district will often serve as the "downtown" area of a local
community, ideally associated with public transit nodes in accordance with principles of transit-oriented
development and new urbanism. Mixed- use guidelines often result in residential buildings with street
front commercial space. Retailers have the assurance that they will always have customers living right
above and around them, while residents have the benefit of being able to walk a short distance to buy
groceries and household items or see a movie.
MIXED USE ZONING FOR SMART GROWTH
Smart growth seeks to encourage compact design, walk able neighbourhoods, housing choice,
and the creation of more transportation options through access to transit and greater connectivity
between neighbourhoods. To further the goals of smart growth, a growing number of communities are
including provisions for mixed use development in their zoning ordinance.
Traditional Neighborhood-
Traditional zoning ordinances can result in large-scale, single use, large-lot residential
developments. These subdivisions often require costly and redundant municipal infrastructure to
function while furthering dependence on nonrenewable energy sources. Traditional neighborhood
developments and new urbanism projects tend to sup-port a wider range of uses and higher densities
in new projects while encouraging travel to, from, and within neighborhoods by modes other than the
automobile. Thanks in part to advocates for traditional neighborhood development, many developers
are responding to a growing demand for neighborhoods that offer a range of housing types where
services and goods are nearby and accessible to pedestrians.
Traffic Congestion-
Mixed use zoning can reduce the peak-hour congestion paralyzing urban areas across the
nation. It provides the tools necessary to develop areas where people have the opportunity to work,
shop, and socialize near their homes. By increasing opportunities to combine trips, mixed uses can
reduce the vehicle miles traveled by residents of a community.
Transit-Oriented Development-
TOD establishes a ―symbiotic relationshipǁ between land uses in proximity to a transit station.
For example, medical and institutional services, retail, and multifamily residential structures can all be
integrated around major public transport nodes. Increasing residential density to levels that support
public transit makes it possible to carry out day-to-day activities—such as shopping or visiting the
doctor—without needing to travel outside of the neighborhood. TODs are not possible without mixed
use zoning and a consideration of the appropriate residential density and land-use mix.
Parking-
Parking requirements for mixed use development can be flexible because spaces can be
shared among the uses. For example, a bank with regular daytime hours has no need to provide
parking during the evening hours. The bank‘s parking can be used by people coming home from work
or by patrons of nearby cafes or entertainment facilities. Shared parking reduces the amount of
surface area devoted to parking, resulting in cost savings for developers, environmental benefits in the
form of less storm water runoff, and aesthetic improvements to neighborhood‘s appearance.
