It takes more than stores and office buildings to revitalize a tired downtown. Las Vegas is implementing a strategy that is also a trend for many cities in the western U.S. -- building housing downtown.
"Cities across the West are learning from eastern cities such as Baltimore, Boston and Jacksonville, Fla., that bringing back tired downtowns takes more than stores and office buildings. It takes people living downtown - shopping, eating and seeking entertainment on the same streets where they work...The coin of the new urbanism is mixed use housing, retail, entertainment and offices all downtown and it's catching on in the West."
