This paper addresses the governance of the ‘live-work mix’. This concept refers to the renewed intertwining of living and working activities in new housing and urban development in the context of welfare state restructuring, development of the knowledge economy and globalisation. Implementing live-work goals can be difficult because a consensus between public and private actors is usually needed to develop such projects. In this paper, we examine the actors and instruments that assist in the implementation of live-work goals in targeted areas. We survey live-work development by analysing three illustrative projects in Brussels and Amsterdam, cities with comparable strategies but distinct planning systems. Our results indicate that state support is essential to enhance live-work mix, especially because the market remains reluctant to mix functions and focuses primarily on housing development. Flexible and tailor-made instruments are used, sometimes co-authored by public and private actors, to reach consensus. These instruments illustrate variants of strategic planning. Despite a shared interest in attracting target groups to redevelopment areas, the consensus-building process is affected by discrepancies in the nature of live-work mix.

本文讨论了“现场工作组合”的治理。这个概念指的是在福利国家重组，知识经济发展和全球化的背景下，新住房和城市发展中生活和工作活动的重新交织。实现活工作目标可能很困难，因为通常需要公共和私人行为者之间达成共识来开发此类项目。在本文中，我们研究了有助于在目标地区实现现场工作目标的参与者和手段。我们通过分析布鲁塞尔和阿姆斯特丹的三个说明性项目来调查现场工作的发展，这两个城市的战略具有可比性，但规划体系却截然不同。我们的结果表明，国家支持对于增强现场工作组合至关重要，特别是因为市场仍然不愿意混合使用功能，而主要关注住房开发。使用灵活的，量身定制的工具，有时由公共和私人行为者共同编写，以达成共识。这些工具说明了战略计划的变体。尽管有共同的兴趣吸引目标群体到重建地区，但建立共识的过程仍受到现场工作组合性质差异的影响。
