      • The teaching component of the NSL seeks to impart the knowledge and skills needed to develop the standard strengths of spatial planning and their interaction as well as the ability to develop strategies for the solution of spatial problems. These are central prerequisites for a responsible and successful exercise of planning functions in the service of the public commonwealth and of private companies. Especially important in fufilling these prerequisites is the quality of university-level education: graduate and post-graduate work as well as professional development in spatial, urban and landscape planning. The ETH Zurich has offered programmes such as continuing education courses and post-graduate programmes (NDS, now MAS) since 1965. The NSL (Network City and Landscape) is responsible for these courses and programmes.

52 | Dezember 2021: Risiko / Risk

Sehr geehrte Leserinnen und Leser

Die Interaktion Mensch – Umwelt ist beidseits risikoreich. Wir sprechen in unserem Dezember-Newsletter von den Funktionen alpiner Landschaften und der Infrastruktur für unsere Wasserversorgung. Und: wir stellen Ihnen Hubert Klumpner, den neuen NSL Leiter vor.

Wir wünschen viel informatives Lesevergnügen!

Towards the Unfinished – Dynamic Design for Landscapes at Risk

Fujan Fahmi | landscape architecture, Prof. Christophe Girot; Dr. Ilmar Hurkxkens | Architecture and Digital Fabrication, Profs. Gramazio & Kohler

The effects of climate change are leading to an increase in extreme natural events and danger in Alpine landscapes in Switzerland. Today, the Swiss territory is already being hit more often by floods, debris flows, and landslides. This increase in natural risks tells us about the fragile balance that exists in our ecosystems. Two centuries of river remediation projects in mountain streams and major rivers in Switzerland have led to a false sense of security.

Mountain Forest Ecosystem Services at Risk

Dr. Ana Stritih, Prof. Dr. Adrienne Grêt-Regamey | Planning of Landscape and Urban Systems (PLUS)

Mountain forests provide many essential ecosystem services, such as protection from natural hazards, carbon sequestration, habitats for rare species, and spaces for recreation. However, these forests are experiencing more and more natural disturbances, including windthrows, bark beetle outbreaks, and forest fires, which may jeopardize their capacity to provide ecosystem services.

Investing in Water Supply Resilience Considering Future Uncertainty and Management Flexibility

Prof. Dr. Bryan T. Adey, Dr. Claudio Martani | Infrastructure Management; Prof. Dr. Jürgen Hackl | University of Liverpool, Civil Engineering and Industrial Design

The infrastructure required to provide sufficient high quality drinking water to urban areas over long time horizons is highly uncertain. The use of the real options method, which accounts for future uncertainty and considers management flexibility over time, can significantly improve the evaluation of water supply resilience enhancing investments when compared to traditional methods.

Irrigation Commons: What Lessons for Sustainable Risk Mitigation?

Nicole de Lalouvière | History and Theory of Urban Design, Prof. Dr. Tom Avermaete

Swiss agricultural commons have overseen the management of pastures, forests, and water in the Alps for centuries. In Canton Valais, the historic irrigation systems have shaped the cultural landscape of the region as a whole. The resilience of these channels rests in part on their ability to mitigate risk, which is achieved through a particular relation to the landscape.

Kurzmeldungen

Co-opolis: The Collective Production of the City

Video now online!

As urbanization intensifies all over the world, so do contestations over how city space is produced. Citizens, politicians, urban designers and architects become increasingly aware of the fact that the city can no longer be solely developed as the playing field of private interests or of state ideologies. Instead, they propose to look upon the production of the city as a ‘common matter’, guided by common codes and the care for common resources.

Gründung upZ (urban publics Zürich)

Lindsay Blair Howe | ETH Zürich/UniLi; Hanna Hildbrandt | UZH; David Kaufmann | ETH Zürich; Philippe Koch | ZHAW

upZ (urban publics Zürich) fördert den Dialog zwischen Stadtforschung, Stadtgesellschaft und Stadtpolitik. Sie verfolgen zwei Ziele: Erstens wollen sie international ausgerichtete urbane Forschung und Praktiken in Zürich verankern und weiterentwickeln. Zweitens wollen sie Verbindungen zwischen städtischen Akteuren in Forschung, Politik, Aktivismus, Hochschulen und Zivilgesellschaft stärken, um den öffentlichen Dialog über dringende städtische Fragen zu fördern.

Verkehrs-Pricing im Feldversuch

Verkehrsteilnehmende verändern ihr Verhalten, wenn sie für Kosten ihrer Mobilität aufkommen müssen, die bisher die Allgemeinheit bezahlt. Das zeigt das bisher grösste Pricing-​Experiment im Schweizer Agglomerationsverkehr von Forschenden der Universität Basel, der ETH Zürich und der ZHAW.

Thinking Through People: The Potential of Volunteered Geographic Information for Mobility and Urban Studies

Despite the ‘mobility turn’ in urban studies, there is surprisingly little research into the role people’s everyday movements play in driving urbanisation processes.

Robotic Landscapes – Designing the Unfinished

Robotic earthmoving equipment is dramatically changing the way landscapes can be formed and maintained. Landscapes evolve through constantly changing conditions, and a dynamic response to natural environments can never be considered final.
