Abstract - Mixed-use developments (MUDs) represent a pivotal strategy in urban revitalization, addressing challenges like population growth, economic stagnation, and social fragmentation. MUDs foster economic growth, enhance social cohesion, and promote sustainable urban renewal by integrating residential, commercial, and recreational spaces into cohesive environments. This article examines their multifaceted impact, leveraging case studies, including Bridgeport in Suffolk, Virginia, to highlight best practices and challenges. It also explores emerging trends such as sustainable design, green certifications, and innovative technologies, underscoring the potential of MUDs to redefine urban living. Insights from recent projects provide a comprehensive understanding of their transformative role in shaping vibrant, inclusive, and resilient communities.
Keywords - Mixed-use developments, urban revitalization, economic growth, social cohesion, sustainable design, green certifications, adaptive reuse, innovative technologies, Bridgeport, urban renewal.
