Mixité verticale

English translation: mixed-use development

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:Mixité verticale
English translation:mixed-use development

Tech/Engineering - Architecture / Town planning
French term or phrase: Mixité verticale
Is there an "in" term in English for this concept, where a building combines offices, shops and residential premises under one roof?

Mixité verticale des programmes immobiliers en façade de l’avenue : commerces / Bureaux / Logements

I've found this definition:

Ce concept (pas nouveau, au demeurant, puisqu'il fut déjà exploité dès les années 60 et 70 par l'Espagne et l'Italie entre autres) consiste à regrouper au sein d'une même tour (dite tour mixte) bureaux, commerces et logements.

Les étages inférieurs comprennent alors habituellement les commerces, immédiatement suivis par des bureaux, éventuellement un hôtel, et enfin des appartements pour bénéficier de la vue au sommet.

However, I haven't yet succeeded in finding an English equivalent.

Many thanks

agree  rkillings: So how 'bout "vertical mixed-use integration"? And throw in unisex restrooms and no glass ceilings in a nod to the other vogue meaning of mixité.

The French definition says "une tour". That's why I went more for "high-rise" than just "building".
