Mixed land uses, land-use externalities, and residential property values: A reevaluation

The Annals of Regional Science, 1982
Empirical evidence concerning the impact of neighborhood land-use externalities on residential property value is mixed. That is, no concensus has emerged in the literature as to whether locating non-residential land-use activities in residential neighborhoods can be expected to increase, decrease or leave unaltered surrounding property values.

Taxonomy of urban mixed land use planning

Land Use Policy, 2019
In classical urban planning, land use segregation and zoning regulations have been practiced by the city planners as the mainstream guiding principles in shaping cities. In spite of many advantages, such land use segregation & zoning regulations, over the last few decades, have been critiqued by scholars for many adverse conditions.

Comparing measures of urban land use mix

Computers, Environment and Urban Systems, 2013
Abstract We review a variety of common measures of urban land use mix in order to understand their differences and to identify their strengths and limitations. We then apply these measures to data from a Monte Carlo simulation to ascertain statistical relationships among them, finding that they can be placed into four groups where measures within ...

Groundwater protection in mixed land-use aquifers

Environmental Management, 1992
Compared with groundwater pollution episodes of a point-source nature, nonpoint-source contamination makes for particularly difficult policy design. This is especially true in the context of a mixed land-use aquifer, where the same pollutant may derive from various human land-use activities and in different concentrations.

Mixing Land Uses and Dwelling Types

2020
The segregation of land use into residential, commercial, and industrial zones was introduced in the early twentieth century. Known as Euclidean zoning, it indirectly gave way to the rise of suburbia, encouraged automobile dependency, limited walkability, and eroded social diversity.

Regulation, Land-Use Mix, and Urban Performance. Part 2: Simulation

Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space, 1999
Part 1 of this two-part paper presented a spatial economic model of the urban development process which captures developers' profit-seeking behaviour, communities' welfare-seeking behaviour, and the mediating effects of alternative systems of land-use rights.

Regulation, Land-Use Mix, and Urban Performance. Part 1: Theory

Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space, 1999
In this paper we present the theoretical model underlying a series of experiments that use cellular automata (CA) simulations to explore the impact of alternative systems of pollution property rights on urban morphology and performance. It is a partial equilibrium model of developer and community behaviour which allows a formal expression of the urban

SECTOR LAND USE AND INDUSTRIAL MIX IN URBAN LAND ALLOCATION

Review of Urban & Regional Development Studies, 2012
This paper uses a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model with integrated sector and residential land data to estimate the impact of allocating land to specific industrial sectors. It also analyzes sector combinations for a 15 acre development project using four local interest measures (LIMs): income per acre, tax revenue per acre, income per ...

Defining mixed-use: which land uses promote walking?

2009
A growing body of literature finds that mixed-use development can affect trip frequency, trip length and mode choice. Though researchers have explored the general impacts of this type of development on travel, few have examined which specific land uses should be mixed to achieve transportation-related goals.

Influence of land development on stormwater runoff from a mixed land use and land cover catchment

Science of The Total Environment, 2017
Mitigating for the negative impacts of stormwater runoff is becoming a concern due to increased land development. Understanding how land development influences stormwater runoff is essential for sustainably managing water resources. In recent years, aggregate low impact development-best management practices (LID-BMPs) have been implemented to reduce ...
