Dense and Green Cities: Zurich Case
Contemporary urban planning and design practice is increasingly exploring the development of sustainable integrated districts (SIDs) as a model for highdensity, high-liveability future cities. SIDs aim to fully realise the potential of urban innovations, transformation and systems solutions by deploying and integrating them at the district scale.
Interdisciplinary work packages allow for an evaluation, comparison, and mutual learning regarding how SIDs are planned and realised in different settlement systems and different climate zones.
The emphasis of the research is on Zurich will expand the knowledge on SIDs as an effective model for future urban development.
