Kurzzusammenfassung

Eine quartiersbasierte App ermöglicht den freiwilligen Tausch von Wohn- und Arbeitsflächen, um bestehende Räume besser zu nutzen. So werden ungenutzte Flächen aktiviert und Neubauten vermieden. Dadurch werden CO₂-Emissionen reduziert und gleichzeitig Gemeinschaft und Solidarität im Quartier gestärkt.

Zueri tuuscht - Swapping instead of building

What should be created?
"Züri tuuscht" is a neighbourhood-based app as a platform for voluntary home swapping. The aim is to increase occupancy density and actively reduce the steadily growing land consumption per person – currently around 39.3 m² in the city of Zurich, with the goal of a climate-neutral city of less than 30.2 m² per person. / The subsequent tenant regulation is already in place as a legal instrument. In order to create incentives for an apartment exchange without rent increases, the app offers a low-threshold set of instruments. Instead of building new, existing space is intelligently repurposed – in the style of "Züri shares": older people with too much space swap with growing families. People can change their living situation without having to leave their neighbourhood. / The platform combines key features: A matching system detects suitable changes of residence between households. Accompanied rent stabilisation prevents unwanted rent jumps and creates legal clarity. In addition, relocation services are arranged to reduce logistical hurdles. / A municipal contact point can moderate and support the process. Models from Munich or Lausanne show the feasibility – "Züri tuuscht" thinks further of these approaches as a targeted climate instrument. / The effect is clear: living space is used more dynamically, new buildings are reduced. Every new building avoided saves up to 1000 kg CO₂/m², heating surfaces are reduced, and grey energy is avoided. At the same time, generation-friendly housing structures, social mix and stronger neighbourhood ties are being created. / "Züri tuuscht" combines Civic Reawakening and Climate Transition: a simple tool that enables self-efficacy – and shows how net zero can be achieved by swapping instead of building. Change begins with an exchange.
