We study dimensional reduction in (d+n)-dimensional space-times, with or without torsion, which admit n commuting Killing vectors. The field content of theories in (d+n) dimensions reduced to d dimensions are completely worked out. The equations of motion satisfied by these fields are also derived explicitly.
