The Chicago Tribune/Naperville Sun quotes Curt Winkle, director of the urban planning and policy program, on retail development accompanying residential growth in southwest Naperville. Winkle notes the importance of mixed-use areas integrating residential and retail properties.
“A strong planning principal is to build multi-purpose areas, where commercial areas are well integrated with residential areas,” said Curt Winkle, director of Urban Planning and Policy at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
