Separate individual dates in Q4 2024

December 2024 - by invitation only

On three days, from 23 to 25 October 2025, we will be on the road with our mobile hands-on station in Zurich-West!

Here you have the opportunity to view the target image and contribute your feedback and additional ideas. The aim is to incorporate the resulting mood into the next concept phase – and thus take a further step towards greener and more sustainable open spaces in Zurich-West.

We look forward to exchanging ideas with you!

Open Space Concept Zurich-West 3rd Echo Chamber Phase «Target Image»
Quartierzentrum Schütze
We are pleased to send you the invitation for the 3rd Echo Chamber «Open Space Concept Zurich-West».

Background:

Zurich-West is getting a new open space concept. The concept development consists of four sub-phases: Analysis – Target Image – Open Space Concept – Measures. In each of these phases, an echo chamber is carried out in which the content developed is mirrored and supplementary input for the next project steps is recorded.

Content and objectives of the 3rd echo chamber

The project is in the second sub-phase "Target Image". Based on a thematic and spatial analysis of Zurich-West, ten "mission statement spaces" were defined. These spaces are to be further developed according to their respective identities on the basis of concise guiding principles. The target image summarizes the vision for each of these rooms into an overarching overall picture. It should be both ambitious and feasible. 

In particular, we would like to collect your knowledge as well as your concerns and ideas in the group dialogue with regard to the mission statement rooms and their guiding principles.

The goals of the echo chamber are:

·         The process and the derivation of the target image is understandable to everyone.

         · The mission statement spaces, guiding principles and the overall target image have been discussed and supplemented.

At the end of the event, we would like to thank you for your commitment with a small aperitif.

We are grateful to register on this platform or to: heiniger@synergo.ch, 043 960 77 33.

We look forward to seeing you and exchanging ideas.

Sincerely, GSZ

Concept development with the involvement of the population

The Zurich-West open space concept responds to the high development pressure in the district and pursues the goal of consistently greening and revitalising the urban space.

A

participation process is taking place as part of the development of the open space concept for Zurich-West. Stakeholders from the general public as well as organisations, associations and other stakeholder groups are involved.

With direct contacts to private landowners, interfaces between public and private land are also considered and synergies are used where possible.

The involvement of the general public took place, among other things, with public walks in June / September 2023 and with a movable hands-on station in October 2025. The findings from the formats will be incorporated into the concept work.
