The combination of classical models of chemical evolution with radial mixing and dynamics of the Galactic disc has opened alternative methods of understanding the detailed structure of the solar neighbourhood. I will show how radial mixing alters the views on chemical evolution as demonstrated by Schönrich & Binney (2009). I will explain how the model gives rise to a very natural division of the Galactic disc into a thick and a thin component, which can be examined in the light of detailed observational studies combining information on kinematics, chemistry and stellar ages.
