Summary:
In the framework of a semester assignment a vision for the city of Uster (Zurich) in the

35 000 inhabitants. If the growth continues like in the passed few years up to 10
000 new inhabitants are expected until the year 2035.

Inside the city borders there’s only few space, which is still undeveloped. So the

Another problem the city of Uster has to face (like every other city on the western hemisphere) is the aging of
its population. New services are needed to satisfy the special needs.
Lastly the city consists of much more inhabitants than working forces. The danger of a bedroom community
persists where people only come home to spend the night.
One possible solution to face these challenges would be to densify the existing center and to build new
dense mixed-used neighborhood centers, which would consist of working places and residential buildings
designed especially for elder people.
