Abstract	Deconcentration of both people and employmenthas been the major trend in most metropolitanareas in Northwest Europe since the 1960s. Withregard to policy goals of sustainable regionaldevelopment, deconcentration has so far mainlybeen seen as a counterproductive tendency.Compact city development, leading to newconcentrations of employment and housing areasin or close to the existing built-up areas, wasoften preferred because it was said tocontribute more to sustainable regionaldevelopment. Initially, the deconcentrationprocess mainly resulted in monofunctionalhousing, employment and consumption areas inlow densities, which generated increasing cartraffic and huge losses of open space. However,in recent years we can increasingly witness atendency towards new multifunctionalconcentrations in the area around the citiesformerly known as `suburbia'. The centralquestion of this paper is how this shift from`suburbia' to `post-suburbia' might contributeto a more sustainable regional development ofmetropolitan areas.Employment deconcentration might contribute toa more sustainable regional development by`bringing jobs to the people', especially whenit leads to new concentrations close to, oreven in, suburban housing areas. In addition,combinations of production and consumptioncould produce areas that are used moreintensively than the traditional monofunctionalindustry or office areas. The possibilities toproduce such mixed-use areas have improvedconsiderably since most present-day employmentconcentrations produce much less noise andpollution than the industrial complexes of thepast. However, a really constructivecontribution to sustainable regionaldevelopment is only reached when the new jobconcentrations meet various othersustainability criteria like promoting the useof public transport, applying forms ofintensive and multiple land use, or decreasingtransport distances to suppliers andcustomers.
