Zurich Primer

The Zurich Primer addresses urban growth and transformation in relation to urban codes and proposes densification scenarios for the city of Zurich in the context of the projected population increase. It is structured around five thematic areas: housing, mobility and public space, existing fabric and continued construction, public buildings and spaces, and work. In addition, through five visual essays, it offers a photographic survey of Zurich and highlights, in short guest contributions, how other cities in Switzerland (Basel, Geneva) and Europe (Brussels, London, Berlin) handle similar issues.
