      • 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.

59 | September 2023: Nachhaltige Ernährungssysteme / Sustainable Food Systems

Sehr geehrte Lesende

Wie genau könnte man global und lokal die Ernährungssysteme nachhaltiger gestalten, so dass auch Überflutungen verhindert und prioritäre Vogelarten gefördert werden? Und: wir stellen Ihnen den neuen NSL Leiter David Kaufmann vor (Raumentwicklung und Stadtpolitik).

Wir wünschen guten Leseappetit!

Agroecological Repair – Food, Territory and Agriculture in the Canton of Zürich

Alice Clarke | Architecture and Territory, Prof. Milica Topalovic

On the highlands, across crop rotation plains and within the drained valley floors the «Agriterritories» of Zurich require immediate action for design to take back its political role within the rural. The ETH Zürich studio Agroecological Repair – Transformative Practices for the Zürich Territory (spring 23) was part of the Masters in Advanced studies in Urban and Territorial Design Confronting pivotal debates. The student work made radical proposals for future transformations in the global food system.

Documenting and Promoting Multifunctional Agro-urban Landscape for Resilient Cities: a Case Study in Antananarivo

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

Antananarivo serves as a prominent example of how urban agriculture can effectively provide essential services for creating sustainable and resilient cities, specifically addressing food security and flood control challenges. The FCL Global research project has made significant contributions through landscape designs that prioritise and advance these crucial services, benefiting from the diverse expertise of its multidisciplinary team.

Fokusgebiete für den Schutz und die Förderung von Vogelarten der Schweizer Landwirtschaft

Noëlle Klein | Planung von Landschaft und Urbanen Systemen (PLUS), Prof. Adrienne Grêt-Regamey

Die landwirtschaftliche Nutzung beeinflusst die Artenvielfalt, die zu schützen eine Herausforderung darstellt. Eine Studie hat potenzielle Verbreitungsgebiete prioritärer Vogelarten (Artverbreitungsmodelle) mit der landwirtschaftlichen Nutzungsauswirkung (Ökobilanzierung) verbunden. Basierend darauf wurde eine räumlich explizite Karte mit Fokusgebieten für den Erhalt und die Förderung dieser Arten produziert.

Peeling out the Details of Chestnuts in Castasegna, Bregaglia, Switzerland

Stefan Breit | Chair of Being Alive, Prof. Teresa Gali-Izard

The landscapes dominated by chestnut trees in the southern alpine valleys are among the traditional agroforestry systems of Switzerland and have long been the main source of food for the local population. These complex socio-ecological systems provide a great learning space for landscape architects and planners, as chestnut orchards are an excellent example of a productive, yet wonderfully beautiful, landscape between forest, agriculture, and recreation area.
