This happen because the area development requires space, in this case land. As people developing land, it damages the environment. It means there will be less balance between built environment and natural environment. This calls for concern in urban sustainability. One of the ways to restore the balance is to reduce as much land as possible to be built by maximizing the space. This paper will explore the multiple space use in terms of mixed-use development in different level and also assess mixed land use implementation, which include the concept of diversity in urban sustainability Keywords: mixed land use; mix-used development urban sustainability; trias toponoma; literature review 1. Introduction common consumables energy, materials or water, for Cities around the world are subject to increasing which there are renewable sources. This triad contains levels of environmental impact of the land development. the following three steps: The development of the cities manifested in several 1.

One of the problems that has emerged as a ‘fresh’ natural space as possible by using the third result of modern urban planning and land development, dimension of buildings. In the city center it is with its strong emphasis on functional separation, is that necessary to build higher or deeper structures. Within it tends to reduce the kind of combinations and this first step it is also possible to use the dimension of interactions—physical, social as well as visual—that time by appointing more than one function to a support urban qualities and vitality. This calls for a building.

Concept of Diversity Martin, and Fulton 2004). Concept of urban sustainability Urban planning as a concept has been around for Compact City at least 26 centuries (Stanislawski, 1946), tracked back The distinctive concepts of the compact city are as far as ancient Greece. Any form of urban planning, high density and compactness. It proposes mixed land such as city planning has come a long way since then, uses like the approaches of new urbanism or even though the ancient ideas of grid planning of city neotraditional development. The European layout can still be seen until now. For the past several Commission’s Green Paper advocates very strongly the decades, urban planning has been “unmixing” cities by “compact city,” assuming that it makes urban areas more the use of rigid zoning that separates single land uses environmentally sustainable and improves quality of life into differently colored parts of the city plan. Big city (Commission of European Communities 1990). The such as New York City and Barcelona still keep their compact city is being promoted in the United Kingdom grid layout of the cities. The result is a city with less and throughout Europe as a component of the strategy diversity in local areas and more traffic, as well as formed to tackle the problem of unsustainability. It is reduced safety and diminished attractiveness of local proposed that in more compact cities, travel distances streets (Newman 1997).
