THE IMPACT OF MIXED LAND USE ON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY VALUES* [PDF]
Journal of Regional Science, 2012 ABSTRACT Contemporary European urban planning policies aim to mix land uses in compact neighborhoods. It is presumed that mixing land uses yields socioeconomic benefits and therefore has a positive effect on housing values. In this paper, we investigate the impact of mixed land use on housing values using semiparametric estimation techniques.

Relationships of Land Use Mix with Walking for Transport: Do Land Uses and Geographical Scale Matter? [PDF]
Journal of Urban Health, 2010 Physical activity and public health recommendations now emphasize the creation of activity-friendly neighborhoods. Mixed land use in a neighborhood is important in this regard, as it reflects the availability of destinations to which residents can walk or ride bicycles, and thus is likely to contribute to residents' active lifestyles that in turn will ...
