Abstract
Mixed use is becoming a key aim of public policies all over Europe and many of the on-going major schemes are mixed use developments. However, the smallest scale of mixed use, the building, still suffers from a mistrust of the property market: the lack of experience, the tenure structures, the technical difficulties are all issues that lead developers to favour single use buildings. However, in increasing number of mixed use buildings shows that the tendency is changing. Among other developments, Oxo Tower and Kings Place in London and the Macdonald warehouse and Claude Bernard in Paris are examples of vertical mixed use implemented despite the issues mentioned above. Based on these examples and on more theoretical literature, the dissertation defines and analyses the obstacles to mixed use buildings and compares the French and the English contexts. Lessons can be learnt from these developments and from the differences between the two countries in order to build a "mixed use buildings" knowledge and foster the development of this niche market.
