Planning for site development in Uetikon

The “Opportunity for Uetikon” development project, which centers on the site of an abandoned chemicals factory in the Swiss town of Uetikon, has been the subject of intense public interest for years. Working on behalf of the developers, we executed an invitation to tender designs for the site’s transformation, drafted a masterplan and two public development plans, and made final preparations for the site’s conversion. We also provided support for participatory events that helped secure broad public support for the project.
