In this paper, in order to realize the implications for residents of the mixed-use of residences and services, we investigated the life style of residents in the central area of Taipei. The results are as follows : 1) the residents in the central area of Taipei have a wide range of the services available most of the day; 2) they have a wide choice among these services during specific hours; and therefore the central area of Taipei is not only an area for production, but also an area for living.
