New Learn ArcGIS Lesson: Live Above, Shop Below

By Tim Ormsby, Learn ArcGIS Team

Live Above, Shop BelowAn area with suitable mixed-use development is one with shops and restaurants at ground level and housing three or four floors above. Finding the proper suitable areas can be difficult—you need to know the target demographic group, people in their 20s and 30s, and also the retail businesses nearby.

In the new Live Above, Shop Below lesson on the Learn ArcGIS website, you’ll evaluate areas in Gresham, Oregon, in search of suitably zoned locations where young adults live and where renting is common. The target audience is known to commute to Portland, so you’ll also look for areas that have easy access to the city’s light-rail system. These are important criteria that will help a company refine its search for a suitable area for mixed-use development.

Special thanks to Andy Mitchell of Esri for encouraging these lessons and for technical review and advice, as well as for providing the mixed-use development analysis case study.
