Lucerne: City no longer wants to sell land

In doing so, Lucerne's parliament has followed the City Council's counter-proposal to the land initiative. The counter-proposal follows the land initiative in that in future land owned by the city of Lucerne can only be handed over in building rights or in exchange for equivalent land.

A sale is now only possible in a few exceptions. For example, the city can sell land if land of equal value was acquired in the previous five years.

The land initiative's demand to set up a land acquisition fund, on the other hand, is not included in the counter-proposal. The reason for this is that in future there will hardly be any book profits from land sales.

The Lucerne electorate will now vote on this counter-proposal to the land initiative.
