Short summary

Das Projekt untersucht gemeinsam mit Bewohner*innen, wie sich Reiseverhalten verändern lässt, um Flugemissionen zu reduzieren. In partizipativen Formaten werden Motive reflektiert und neue, positive Erzählungen entwickelt. Ziel ist es, Impulse für klimafreundliches Reisen über das Quartier hinaus zu geben.

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

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.
