Abstract

Urban development, particularly through mixed-use projects, has emerged as a critical tool for regional economic revitalization. These projects integrate residential, commercial, and recreational spaces to stimulate local economies, enhance social cohesion, and optimize land use. This study presents a conceptual urban development model that synthesizes best practices from urban planning, economic development, and regional policy literature. Drawing upon over 100 peer-reviewed articles, policy reports, and practitioner studies, the proposed framework emphasizes integrated planning, stakeholder engagement, financial sustainability, and performance monitoring. The model serves as a strategic guide for policymakers, urban planners, and developers to drive economic growth, attract investment, and foster sustainable urban environments. By aligning urban design with regional development priorities, the framework provides a systematic approach to revitalizing lagging regions and enhancing economic resilience.
