Description
Der Zürich Primer gliedert sich in fünf Themenbereiche: «Wohnen», «Mobilität und öffentlicher Raum», «Bestand und Weiterbauen», «Öffentliche Bauten und Räume» sowie «Arbeit». Er befasst sich mit Wachstums- und Verdichtungsszenarien für die Stadt Zürich vor dem Hintergrund des prognostizierten Bevölkerungswachstums und hinterfragt die bestehenden urbanen Codes. Darüber hinaus bietet er anhand von fünf visuellen Essays eine fotografische Bestandsaufnahme von Zürich und beleuchtet in kurzen Gastbeiträgen, wie andere Städte in der Schweiz (Basel, Genf) und Europa (Brüssel, London, Berlin) ähnliche Probleme handhaben.
