Purpose & Goals

What is the aim of the «Quartieridee»?

With this project we are testing new forms of participation in Zurich. The neighborhood fund provides Wipkinger with the opportunity to directly influence the development of their neighborhood - this also includes people that do not have any political say otherwise. Additionally, the project provides political representatives, city planners, and the city administration with easy access to hyperlocal knowledge and the needs of the residents of that area. This pilot project will test whether and under what conditions such a process could be suitable for the entire city of Zurich.
