Analysis 2: Pedestrian Flow in <strong>the</strong> “Hochschulgebiet Zentrum”<br />

The transformation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> “Hochschulgebiet Zentrum” and <strong>the</strong> demolishing and rebuilding <strong>of</strong> a high<br />

amount <strong>of</strong> buildings is a chance to optimise <strong>the</strong> pedestrian flow within this city quarter. Since most <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> thousands <strong>of</strong> students studying at ETH and University Zurich are coming by public transportation to<br />

this city quarter, a good integration and accessibility <strong>of</strong> all <strong>the</strong> high school buildings by foot is desired.<br />
