Integrated Land Use

Integrated land use is a planning approach that combines different types of land development—such as residential, commercial, industrial, and recreational—within a community to create balanced, functional, and sustainable environments. Instead of separating these uses into distinct areas, integrated planning encourages thoughtful placement to reduce travel distances, promote walkability, and enhance quality of life. It aims to optimize land resources, support diverse needs, and minimize negative impacts like traffic congestion and urban sprawl, fostering more efficient and interconnected neighborhoods.
