    (Lead City University, Ibadan, 2024-12) Yetunde TAIWO
    Landscaping is crucial to the appearance, functionality, and sustainability of mixed-use complexes because it creates a cohesive space that unifies residential, commercial, and recreational elements. Mixed-use structures have to suitably accommodate the needs and preferences of the general public. Urban areas and spaces are currently planned and built to ignores variables like climate and culture that have an impact on how people behave and use the amenities and the surrounding area. This assumes even greater significance when we take into account that women, children, the elderly, and people with disabilities do not have easy or sufficient access to green areas outside of these facilities. This will help how individuals consider and utilize the environment as a component of their daily lives, how they interpret it, how they project themselves onto it, and how they create meanings around it. The ultimate goal is to raise decision makers' awareness of and appreciation for the importance of integrating landscape design principles such as soft, hard, interior and exterior landscaping into planning and design of mixed use buildings. In order to provide architects, with relevant data and suggestions, this thesis examines landscaping techniques for enhancing mixed-use landscapes.
