In recent years Taubman has studied these mixed-use projects and found the economic argument supports (or follows from?) the civic one. <BR/><BR/>Among the many details: We see evidence that mixed use projects are less likely to encounter obstacles during land entitlement, because citizens and civic leaders often support these projects vocally. Whether those faster approvals translate into a speedy development cycle depends on a related issue: the complexity of mixed-use projects may slow their design and may slow the writing of agreements to operate and share revenues.<BR/><BR/>Steve Blum<BR/>The Taubman CompanyStevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16076704725055971561noreply@blogger.com
