Unfortunately, this idea was not selected

Unfortunately, the idea did not receive enough votes in the poll and will therefore not proceed to the next phase.

However, the project team and the City of Zurich are reviewing all submitted ideas once again to identify potential synergies with other projects. Perhaps your idea could be implemented even without additional support? Please consider whether you would like to pursue the idea further.

If you’d like to continue getting involved in the pilot neighbourhood, you can also help develop one of the 26 selected ideas. To do so, contact the idea proposers directly or write to mitmachen@pilotquartier.ch.

Community cultivation in the centre of Wiedikon

Idea not chosen

Gregory de Souza 15/12/2025 17:51

With the former Kehlhof and the Kollergut, there were long agricultural areas in the middle of the Wiedikon. It would be great if a community-supported and well-maintained vegetable garden were to be created in the neighbourhood -- and part of the Kollerwiese would be perfect for this for both historical and spatial reasons!
example: I am familiar with small-scale vegetable cultivation that involves a lot of manual work from solidarity-based agricultural projects such as Ortoloco in Dietikon. During the COVID pandemic, we were able to continue our collaborative project while respecting all the rules, supplying over 100 households with locally grown vegetables while global chains had fallen apart. On a smaller scale, a community garden in the neighbourhood (supported by an association or similar) would be a great interpersonal enrichment as well as a contribution to more local food production!; I'm an individual

Hoi – let's do it again.

We would like to invite you to the think tank on March 14 from 2 to 6 p.m. in the Miso Bar Binz. The think tank is aimed at everyone - whether you want to submit a new idea, develop an idea that has already been submitted or network with other idea providers.

Fine snacks and drinks will be provided. The event is free of charge and without registration. To avoid food waste, registration is still helpful.
You can register here:
Think tank in the pilot district

Thank you very much for your commitment!
Best regards
