Seit in Kraft treten des revidierten Raumplanungsgesetzes (RPG) auf 1. Mai 2014 sind alle 26 Schweizer Kantone und über 2130 Gemeinden dazu verpflichtet, ihre «Siedlungsentwicklung nach innen» zu lenken.

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.
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has been unequal depending on the resources and opportunities people have to cope with the pandemic. Intersectional burdens have been reproduced, as care and maintenance work have fallen disproportionately on the shoulders of women and migrants. Given the ‘essentiality’ but low valuation Continua

6. Juni 2023, 17.30 | Karl der Grosse, Kirchgasse 14, 8001 Zürich. Bauen ist das Gebot der Stunde, um dem aktuellen Wohnungsmangel zu begegnen und Verdichtung zu fördern. Neueste Studien über den Kanton Zürich zeigen jedoch, dass der aktuelle Wohnungsbau vulnerable Menschen verdrängt.
Neuste Auswertungen zeigen, dass neue Wohnungen hauptsächlich durch Ersatzneubauten geschaffen werden, zu direkten Verdrängungen von vulnerablen Personengruppen führen und bauliche Verdichtung eher akzeptiert wird, wenn es ökologische und soziale Begleitmassnahmen gibt.
Wachstum, Boden, Wohnen? Schweizer Städte und Gemeinden sind seit 2014 gesetzlich dazu verpflichtet ihre «Siedlungsentwicklung nach innen» (Art. 1 RPG) zu lenken. Gleichzeitig werden ihre verfügbaren Bodenreserven knapp und die Wohnbevölkerung wächst stetig. Wie können kommunale Planer:innen aktiv und strategisch in den Wohnungsmarkt eingreifen, um so die Innenentwicklung Continua

This paper systematises knowledge of public participation by bringing together existing concepts and theories from planning literature to conceptualise the 3A3-framework of participation. The framework presents participation as an emergent phenomenon, shaped by the dimensions: actors, arenas and aims. Each of these dimensions consists of three interacting elements. Continua
Verdichtung ist heute ein Grundsatz der Stadtentwicklung. Trotzdem stösst sie immer wieder auf lokalen Widerstand. ETH-Raumwissenschaftler:innen haben nun in sechs Weltstädten und im Kanton Zürich systematisch untersucht, wie sich die Akzeptanz von Verdichtung in der Bevölkerung erklären lässt. Eine Schlüsselrolle spielt der preisgünstige Wohnungsraum. Artikel in den ETH Continua
Digital platforms are increasingly present in everyday urban life. This has meant an increasing infrastructuralisation of digital platforms, creating opportunities, but also challenges for cities and governments. During COVID-19, delivery platforms and delivery workers became a staple of urban landscapes, but what has this meant for urban governance?
As several Western Balkans countries aspire to become members of the European Union (EU) in the (near) future, it is interesting to explore to what extent EU territorial trends are adopted in both the official national regulations and spatial planning practice. To do so, we: 1) screen EU Continua
The interrelationship between structure and agency has long been in the centre of the planning debate: the structuralist perspective focused on a regulatory structure as an arena for the manoeuvre of rational actors, while network-oriented post-structuralism exceeds such a rigid duality. However, as both approaches fail to fully Continua
