Observational studies of the relations between ages, metallicities and kinematics of disk stars in the solar neighbourhood are discussed with emphasis on the recent survey by Edvardsson et al. (1993), and galactic metallicity gradients inferred from these nearby stars are compared with gradients determined from distant B stars and open clusters.
