Basel und Zürich – Innovative Swiss economic centers – The Swiss cities of Basel and Zurich are regarded as role models for sustainable urban development and innovative solutions in urban areas.

Basel impresses with its cross-border tramway, which connects Switzerland, Germany and France and promotes climate-friendly mobility in the tri-national region. Another highlight is the conversion of former industrial and railroad sites, which have been transformed into lively districts with living and working spaces as well as cultural offerings. The city is also known for its modern architecture.

Zurich is considered one of the most expensive cities in the world, but also a center for cooperative housing projects, which focus on affordable and community-oriented living spaces. Urban greenery plays a central role in the city: parks, green facades and roof gardens promote biodiversity and contribute to climate adaptation.
