Abstract
A specific part in the fourth study on spatial planning Extra (VINEX) the policy of the Dutch government is the control of the mobility. Mobility has increased very much during the last years and it is the policy of the government to reduce car use. This literature survey presents some hypotheses on relevant correlations between living and working. If the living place and the working place are nearby, people are minded to walk or to go by bicycle. Good public transport available can also decrease the use of the car. The demand for houses in the neighbourhood of the working place is great, but the offer of payable houses is limited. In the near future areas are planned in which living and working is more integrated.
