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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
David Kaufmann ist für die nächsten zwei Jahre neuer Direktor des Netzwerks Stadt und Landschaft (NSL). Seine Prioritäten sind die Stärkung der ETH Zürich im Bereich der nationalen und internationalen Stadtforschung sowie die Förderung von Synergien zwischen den Stadtforschungsgruppen der ETH in Forschung, Lehre und Engagement für die Gesellschaft.

Housing is one of the most significant challenges for humanitarian actors and displaced persons in cities. This new SNF project on Urban Humanitarian Housing hopes to contribute to improving humanitarian housing responses as well as the well-being and agency of urban displaced persons worldwide. This is a collaboration with the Beirut Urban Lab and the Instituto Pensar in Bogotá.
The Large-Scale Virtualization and Modeling Lab (LVML) becomes part of Design++, the Center for Augmented Computational Design in Architecture, Engineering and Construction. It opens its usage to Design++ members to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and supports knowledge integration and co-creation to advance planning and design tools and workflows.

Pilot regions, the federal government and the Chair of Planning of Landscape and Urban Systems (PLUS) are jointly drafting which questions and indicators related to building outside building zones should be answered or recorded in the cantons in the future in the scope of a monitoring (BAB). The focus is on use types (agricultural, residential) as well as infrastructures and facilities. Contact: Ulrike Wissen Hayek

Lively Cities departs from conventions of urban studies to argue that cities are lived achievements forged by a multitude of entities – human and nonhuman – that make up the material politics of city making.
Calibration of car-following (CF) models is considered a very important task towards reproduction of individual vehicle behaviors and collective traffic phenomena.
Like in many cities and regions worldwide, densification is the current urban development paradigm in Switzerland. Although considered one of the main policy mechanisms for sustainable land use, densification strategies are mainly employed by the private sector, causing adverse social effects.
