Q

For how many residents are the existing construction zones sufficient?

Why does the outer ring has less potential? such as Appenzell

A

for 11 mio. residents = 2.85 million residents + 2.1 million employees aditional

1.55m on still undeveloped building land
1.3m in already populated areas

  • farm land is not zoned in, there is nothing available

Q

Vertical densification: What good aspects do exist?

A
  • densification increases productivity and is sustainable (Houston consumes 8x more energy than London - with the same population)
  • 40 largest metropolitan region generate 67% of global economic growth (75% of the world’s population will live in megacities in 30 years
  • Skyscrapers are increasingly being planned as mixed use complexes

Q

  • cost of retroactive densification is often glossed over (verschönigt)
  • legal issues and disputes with neighbors and tenants are inevitable (unvermeidlich)
  • state wants to skim-off profit

-> densification is often no longer worthwhile

A

Primary Node (metropolican area)
Secondary Node
Teritary Node

17
Q

What can you find on the
- settlement
- traffic
- green
spaces?

A

Settlement space:
- metropolitan region
- region
- location
- neighbourhood
- area
- object

Traffic space:
- airplane/ ship
- Highway/ train
- cantonal road/ S-Bahn
- Neighborhood-streets/ Bus/ Tram
- Biking Trails/ Footpaths/ Elevator/ Escalator

Green space:
- Nature, experience tension + relaxation
- recreational space

18
Q

What is important about Public Transport (PT) and Motorized Individual Transport (MIT)?

A
  • Mobility is needed to be economically sustainable
  • MIT and public transport are not antagonists, but part of the overall mobility system
  • Both need finite resource: energy, time, space
19
Q

What are the fundamentals of a 15-Minutes City?

A
  • ecology
  • proximity
  • solidarity (gender, gragile people, old & young, rich & poor, local & foreign)
  • Participation (PPP Puplic private partnership, citizens involvement)
  • Urban common ground (public space, parks, playgrounds, wellness & fitness)
20
Q

What is the 2000-watt society?

A
  • developed as a vision in the late 1990
  • official development model of numerous Swiss cities and munipalities
  • energy needs
  • greenhouse gases
  • imbedded energy
  • induced mobility
21
Q

Initial situation:
- where everyone wants to go, there is no room left
- nobody wants to go where there’s room

What is their strategy?

A
  • inward densification of locations in seller markets
  • attractiveness of locations in buyer’s markets
22
Q

2000-Watt Site: some facts

A
  • fallow building plots are suited to become 2000-Watt sites
  • around 1000 such areas in CH
  • very often industrial areas where production was abandoned
  • high densification potential
  • in future areas of more than 10’000m2 to be developed must be planned, constructed and used in accordance with the 2000-Watt Society and the SIA 2040 efficiency path
23
Q

What are 2000-Watt Smart cities?

A
  • cities that manage to reduce their non-renewable energy demand to 2000W per person by 2035 thanks to smart technology. This will enable them to become Net Zero Cities by 2050
24
Q

What is the most efficient form for a city?

25
Q

What is the vision of Limmatstadt?

A

to combine different areas:
- heart of Limmattal is Dietikon “Limmatfeld” -> close to train station
- Schlieren: Färbi areal is transformed into an urban working, living and recreational area
- Baden: Brauerei-Areal, should be new residential and have a commercial use
- Altstetten: Vulcano project, residential, office and service

Mobiliy:
- strongest growth regions in the greater Zurich area
- more traffic
- Limmattalbahn

26
Q

how does the future car mobility look like?

A

Increased Traffic:
* Higher traffic density anticipated due to autonomous pods.
Additional traffic space needed in high-congestion areas.
* Changes in Urban Design: Reduced need for parking spaces.
Opportunity to repurpose existing parking areas for other uses.

Impact on Productivity:
* Travel time will be transformed into productive “quality time.”
* Stress-free mobility increases travel demand.

Economic and Employment Effects:
* Boosted productivity increases GDP, but unemployment risk if jobs are scarce.
* Entire industries may become obsolete (e.g., traditional car manufacturing); workers need retraining.

Cost Advantages:
* Autonomous mobility cheaper than current transport.
* Potential to reallocate profits to support unemployed individuals.

Workforce Dynamics:
* Machines will replace repetitive jobs, requiring creative skills for future work.
* Creativity remains irreplaceable.

27
Q

How does the mobility look in 2050?

A
  • nobody owns a car anymore
  • much-requested routes = larger bots
  • accident decreased since human drivers are rare
  • costs per km were cut in half
  • old-timers with gasoline require exceptional approval
  • travel time in bot is used creatively
