Stadium design is moving closer to mixed-use city planning
New venues are increasingly planned with housing, transit, retail and public space rather than as isolated event buildings.

The venue is only busy on some days

A stadium can attract large crowds, but its surrounding district has to work during the rest of the week. That pushes designers toward mixed-use neighborhoods and better transit connections.

Public value is broader than attendance

Street design, local businesses and access to parks can matter as much as the arena itself when cities evaluate large development proposals.

“The most useful reporting connects the latest development with the context readers need to understand what comes next.”
