On Monday, 15 March 2021, from 7.00 p.m. to 8.30 p.m., the closing event of the project "City of the Future – Insights from the Outside" will take place as a live stream via YouTube. On the podium, Corine Mauch, Mayor of Zurich, Thomas Scheitlin, former Mayor of St. Gallen, Alfred Heer, National Councillor, and Prof. David Kaufmann, Professor of Spatial Development and Urban Policy ETH Zurich, will discuss the "Voices of the Cities in Bern". The focus is on the question of the possibilities that a city like Zurich has to exert influence on the national policy agenda in cooperation with other actors. What significance do cities have for policy-making regionally, nationally and internationally? Which positioning strategies are suitable for a city like Zurich to contribute its knowledge, experience and specific concerns to the political discourse?
This event marks the end of the third project in the "City of the Future" series of Zurich's Urban Development. The event will be moderated by Sebastian Ramspeck, SRF correspondent in Brussels. Thanks to the interactive format, the audience has the opportunity to ask questions via the comment function, which are taken up by the moderation. Registration for the event is not necessary. We would be delighted to welcome you virtually at this event.
