Local echo chamber: Witikon

Talking together about the future of cemeteries

Zurich's cemeteries are changing. This also raises questions for their future: How should cemeteries continue to develop? What role should they play in the future? And what is important to you?

At the local echo chamber, we would like to explore these questions together with you. To kick things off, we will explore the Witikon cemetery on a walk and take a look at different areas. Afterwards, you will learn more about the "Future of Zurich Cemeteries" project and about current developments around the cemeteries.

Your perspective is needed

Then contribute your experiences, concerns and ideas: What do you associate with Zurich's cemeteries? What is important to you in their future development?

In exchange with other participants, we collect and discuss different perspectives and recommendations. The results will be incorporated into the further strategy process.

We look forward to the joint exchange!
