Spatial development concept for Kilchberg 2040

When faced recently with the task of revising its long-term development plan, the Swiss town of Kilchberg commissioned us to draft a spatial development concept. In addition to defining the basic principles of quality development for the next 15 to 20 years, the concept addresses six key topics: settlement structure and use, densification as an approach to sustainability, development structure and quality, harmonization of settlement and energy goals, as well as coordination of settlement and transportation goals. The concept will allow the municipality to meet challenges associated with population growth, scarce resources, and the safeguarding of existing and new qualities.
