11 32 Structural development and maintenance of urban and natural space Initial situation Zurich benefits from an advantageous location on a lake and among wooded hills. Distances are short and the inhabited area is compact and clearly defined. The City has an attractive and well maintained appearance due to the careful handling of buildings, roads and squares, as well as green and natural zones. Through the re-utilisation of former industrial sites, new districts have arisen that establish urban development accents and in which building will continue. Major constructional changes and densification are also pending in various residential and mixed areas. This results in increased utilisation pressure on open and green areas. In addition to safeguarding urban qualities, this represents a central challenge. Because of further increases in the development of urban space and the maintenance of natural space, a regional approach is necessary. <strong>Strategies</strong> � The City works closely with surrounding municipalities. � Within the context of Spatial Development Strategy RES, the City follows sustainable urban development with a focus on high quality construction. This ensures that the neighbourhoods are provided with a good range of public green and open areas. � The City ensures that the different characteristics of city neighbourhoods remain clearly identifiable; secondary and neighbourhood centres are strengthened further, in addition to the city centre. � The City aims to transform traffic-dominated street spaces into liveable city areas with many uses. � The City will ensure that the Zurich North and Zurich West development areas will be directly linked to each other by public transport. � The City makes suitable areas available as temporary free spaces. � The City ensures that scenic and natural spaces, above all with regard to forests and shore areas, are carefully maintained, their attractiveness increased and their utilisation actively managed.
