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.

Why does the people of Zurich vote red-green and at the same time fly more than ever before?

Idea not chosen
What should be created?
We would like to explore this question together with the residents of the neighbourhood and develop formats that open up new perspectives on travel. This is because air travel jeopardizes the achievement of the net-zero target by 2040: In 2024, each city of Zurich flew an average of around 10,500 km, which generates around 3.2 tons of CO₂eq per capita – almost 1.5 times as much as all direct emissions in the urban area. At the same time, there is currently a lack of effective political framework conditions and quickly scalable technological solutions to reduce flight emissions. Together with the residents, we look at the motives behind (long-distance) travel and together we develop new narratives that show that flying less can be a benefit. This is done in participatory formats such as workshops and focus groups with the population, science (ETH) and practice (iilo). The findings are intended to have an impact beyond the district and provide impetus for Zurich, other cities and cantons.
