Vibrant cities require a diverse mix of habitants who bring different activities into the spaces at all times of the day. The most effective way to achieve this is to mix different functions within one building - a mixed-use building. Join Sven Thorissen’s presentation at Die Stadtretter as he discusses mixed-use development as a solution for city centres and local hubs.
