Abstract
This introduction paper to the special issue on multiple land use of Journal of Housing and the Built Environment provides an overview of the differences between the concepts of mixed land use and multiple land use. Multiple land use is a successor of mixed land use concept but is not yet very well well-defined. It covers more dimensions and types of land use than mixed land use, and emphasises the institutional dimension of decision-making. These different dimensions are used to analyse a large multiple land use project in Amsterdam in the Netherlands. This project called the Zuid As (South Axis) is introduced in this paper.
