Improving walkability in a mixed-use development involves creating an inviting and engaging pedestrian environment. One key strategy is to provide clear ground-floor windows along street-level retail spaces. This design approach enhances the pedestrian experience by creating visual interest and a sense of safety, as people can see into and out of the buildings. This strategy aligns with the goals of LEED for Neighborhood Development, which encourages designs that support active, vibrant streetscapes and promote pedestrian activity.
