    Smart City Strategy Zug

    The challenges of urban growth, from the climate crisis to transport logistics and urban densification, call for holistic approaches. Zug is focusing on digitalisation as a key strategy. With its strong technological basis and the active involvement of all urban stakeholders, the Smart City Strategy Zug offers innovative answers to the questions of the future.

    Intelligent administration and citizen-centred services
    The city of Zug is striving for an efficient, citizen-centred administration that facilitates access to services and promotes transparency. Digital technologies, such as open data and smart administrative processes, offer citizens access to municipal services regardless of time and place. This customer-friendly approach strengthens the dialogue between the city and the population and makes Zug a pioneer for modern city administration.

    Strengthening social participation and digital skills
    With its smart city strategy, Zug is creating new platforms for the participation of all social groups. Digital channels expand dialogue and promote the right to have a say, especially for younger generations and less mobile people. Educational programmes are designed to improve the digital skills of both the population and the administration and prepare the people of Zug for the opportunities and challenges of the digital transformation.

    Smart mobility for sustainable mobility and quality of life
    Smart mobility is a central pillar of the strategy. Innovative technologies and alternative forms of transport are intended to reduce commuter traffic, cut emissions and improve the quality of life. Zug is focussing on real-time data, intermodal mobility and the expansion of emission-free modes of transport. The goal: clean, safe and sustainable mobility that enriches city life.

    Innovative business location
    With its dynamic start-up scene and innovative sectors such as fintech and blockchain, Zug creates an attractive environment for high-tech companies and qualified specialists. The Smart City strategy strengthens the location’s profile and connects companies that are committed to a sustainable economy and circular processes. In this way, Zug is not only positioned for the future as a place to live, but also as a business location.

    Sustainability and environmental protection through smart technologies
    Promoting energy efficiency and CO2 reduction is a key objective of the strategy. Digital applications such as “smart metering” enable a transparent presentation of energy consumption and promote the conscious use of resources. The city is focussing on the expansion of renewable energies and the intelligent use of existing infrastructure – a clear commitment to climate protection and sustainable urban development.

  • Riedtli starts pilot for environmentally friendly mobility

    Riedtli starts pilot for environmentally friendly mobility

    The Riedtli housing estate will receive 14 charging stations for electric cars from mid-July. In the course of re-letting the residential parking spaces, the City of Zurich is also setting up four parking spaces for car sharing offers and additional areas for electric cargo bikes. The pilot project is intended to promote environmentally friendly mobility in residential areas and later be transferred to other areas, according to a media release .

    For the residents of the Riedtli settlement on the border between Zurich-Unterstrass and -Oberstrass, four of the 20 parking spaces will be eliminated. The 16 remaining still meet the demand, according to the media release. In future, three e-vehicles from the car sharing provider Mobility and a gasoline-powered rental car from enterprise will be parked in the four newly leased spaces. There are also three new electric cargo bikes from carvelo2go. A total of 14 of the 23 parking spaces will be converted into charging stations for e-cars.

    The pilot project is a step towards a 2000 watt society, which has been anchored in Zurich's municipal code since 2008. Its aim is to make the city climate neutral by 2040. “In order to achieve our climate goals, traffic has to be reduced, relocated and electrified in a targeted manner. The switch to electromobility is also to be promoted with the expansion of charging stations. By sharing cars and only using them when they are really needed, people contribute to environmentally friendly mobility, ”City Councilor Daniel Leupi is quoted as saying in the press release.

    City of Zurich gives its own tenants a subscription for Mobility

    The city of Zurich wants to promote environmentally friendly mobility. To this end, it is now providing the tenants of their apartments with an annual subscription to the Mobility auto parts service free of charge, the city and Mobility write in a joint message . Anyone who lives in one of the 9,200 city apartments and has a category B ticket has been able to take advantage of such an annual subscription since March. Users then only have to pay for the duration or range of use of the Mobility vehicles.

    The city pays Mobility a flat rate of CHF 12,000 for this. The issue has no impact on rents or taxpayers, she writes in her communication.
