  • Green open space on the Papierwerd site in Zurich

    Green open space on the Papierwerd site in Zurich

    A versatile open space has been created on the small square between the Globus Provisorium and the Mühlesteg. This green space invites you to linger with various seating elements and a view of the Limmat. New trees provide shade and pleasant places to sit on sunny days. For this new open space, existing car parks on the forecourt of the Globus Provisorium were removed, the ground unsealed and an innovative green concept established. Temporarily placed trees in so-called “airpots” already provide shade and cooling today and can also be replanted later, which makes the new greenery doubly useful.

    Development direction and further measures
    This milestone is part of the development direction adopted by the city council for the Papierwerd site (STRB No. 2722/2023). The development direction is based on the “Forum Papierwerd” strategy process and dialogue procedure. The desire for open space was set out in the eleven key statements for the Papierwerd site.

    Further immediate measures are planned for 2025. At the same time, as part of the ongoing in-depth phase, the structural clarifications regarding the Globus provisional building will be further advanced, the handling of the conservation value and water protection will be discussed and a rough utilisation and operating concept will be developed.

    Integration into the HB/Central masterplan
    The development of the Papierwerd site is being closely coordinated with the overarching “HB/Central masterplan” and will be incorporated into it. Consistent findings from both plans, such as the expansion of the open space, the improvement of the quality of stay, access to the Limmat and heat reduction, will be pursued further. With the masterplan, the City of Zurich is developing a vision for the future of the HB/Central area with a time horizon up to 2050 for transport and urban planning in this area. Interested parties are invited to visit the Papierwerd site in person and discover the qualities of the newly created place to stay in the heart of the city. Further information on the history and development of the site can be found on site or on the city’s project website.

  • Limmattal should actively shape its urbanisation

    Limmattal should actively shape its urbanisation

    Urbanist Thomas Sevcik assumes that the region between Schlieren and Turgi will increasingly become a city. In his publication “Limmattalstadt – Impulse für die Region entlang der Limmat” (Limmat Valley City – Impulses for the Region along the Limmat), he proposes to shape this urbanisation “actively and strategically”. “The Limmattal city will come anyway. But we should make it as good as we can,” he writes.

    Among other things, Sevcik proposes so-called neo-areas. These should close gaps between settlement areas. For example, a campus on part of the marshalling yard could offer space for a Hochschule Limmat, a computer centre, but also a congress and entertainment centre. A new residential quarter could be built between Neuenhof and Killwangen, and a future-oriented quarter for new forms of living and working in the Tägerhard to the east of Wettingen. In the Hard in Siggenthal, too, a new district could combine work, living and leisure.

    Sevcik points out that the Limmat has so far had little presence in the region. He suggests upgrading the river landscape in Dietikon to a riviera.

    Economically, the future Limmat Valley city should rely on its strengths in applied technology and design, logistics and trade, as well as medtech and biotech. Mobility in the region should be facilitated by the extension of the Limmattalbahn, the use of the railway line between Dättwil and Wettingen, cable cars and the bicycle network. Sevcik also proposes a take-off site for vertical take-off electric helicopters at the Würenlos motorway service station.

    Sevcik developed the strategy ideas on the initiative of the Limmatstadt Location Promotion Agency and presented them at the general meeting of Limmatstadt AG on 15 August. 20 companies, mainly from the region, supported the project. The publication can be ordered digitally.

  • Regional 2025 celebrates halftime

    Regional 2025 celebrates halftime

    The Regionale 2025 celebrated its fifth anniversary with a celebration on the banks of the Limmat in Neuenhof AG. According to the announcement, the Regionale 2025 association was founded in 2015 and is supported by 16 Limmattal municipalities and cities as well as the cantons of Aargau and Zurich. It is intended to strengthen the identity of the Limmat Valley. To this end, 29 different projects are to be implemented by 2025.

    More than 100 invited guests took part in the celebration with an aperitif and a musical performance from the water. The focus of the celebration on September 9, the fifth anniversary of the association's start-up, was the exchange of all those involved across borders. For the previous president Brigitta Johner it was a farewell. She resigns from office after six years. "For a livable and lovable Limmat valley" was the motto of the FDP politician, it says in the message. The former canton councilor was bid farewell with speeches of thanks by Roland Kuster, Wettinger mayor and former vice-president of the Regionale 2025, the managing director Peter Wolf, the mayor of the host community, Martin Uebelhart, as well as two digital greetings from the two cantons. They came from government councilors Markus Dieth (Aargau) and Martin Neukom (Zurich).

    Halfway through, the next five years were also looked at. First there will be an interim show from May to October 2022. The projects nominated for the final project show will be presented there. Further projects will then be completed by 2025. The conclusion of the work of the Regionale 2025 culminates in a large project show at which all projects and processes in the region are presented to the public.

  • Regionalwerke AG Baden implements a construction project on the Limmat

    Regionalwerke AG Baden implements a construction project on the Limmat

    The Limmergy development project in the Obersiggenthal district of Rieden is making progress. For the construction project launched by Regionalwerke AG Baden , the participation procedure was carried out in February by resolution of the Obersiggenthal municipal council. This was completed on Monday so that planning can continue.

    To be built according to release the Regionalwerke Baden there on a slope with river access a "smart" buildings. Each letter stands for one of the five intentions that the future-oriented project should pursue: S stands for social, M for minimal, A for automatic, R for regional and T for typology – which means architecture in technical jargon.

    The project should have a pioneering character for a modern and sustainable development and meet the goal of the Energy Strategy 2050, with a reduction in energy consumption per person and year, according to the description of the project. Over the entire life cycle of the building, CO2 consumption should be reduced as much as possible, thus taking into account the net zero goal of Swiss climate policy. Photovoltaic roofs are supposed to produce more electricity than the 40 households in the project consume.

    This will also charge the two electric cars that will be available to tenants and can be booked via an app. In any case, community is very important in Limmergy, as can be seen from the company information. There will be a communal kitchen, a communal garden with a barbecue area and a factory lobby.
