Abstract: Multifunctional land use has recently received increasing attention, both as a planning concept and as a tool for integrated modelling. When a multifunctional spatial planning design is used, socio-economic synergy benefits may be obtained, if several (complementaty or mutually strengthening) functions are exercised at the same place and time. The present paper aims to offer a new contribution to the economics of multifunctional land use by analysing this concept in greater detail from an operational and integrative perspective. A functional typology of specific land use functions is presented, along with the development of assessment criterta to measure the degree of multifunctionality of specific land use projects. A Dutch case study of a multifunctional land use project, the so-called Amsterdam South-Axis, is presented and analysed as an illustrative case.
