Zurich: Site development planned in Schwamendingen
The area between Dübendorfstrasse, Glattwiesenstrasse, Altwiesenstrasse and Luchswiesenweg in Zurich-Schwamendingen is to be redeveloped. The private design plan is currently open to the public.
The site in Zurich-Schwamendingen belongs to various landowners who have joined together in the Altwiesen-/Dübendorfstrasse Simple Partnership in order to jointly clarify development possibilities for the individual properties. The aim is to achieve adequate development of all properties on the basis of a private land reallocation and development agreement and a staged renovation of the buildings as part of a site development.
The residential development on the site was built in the 1950s as a garden city estate. With the present draft of the private design plan, the qualities and identities of the garden city settlement are to be preserved and continued in a condensed form, according to the city of Zurich. In addition, it will be ensured that social infrastructures such as kindergartens and community rooms are built and that structural requirements for commercial uses are also made possible. Due to the ownership structure, a share of non-profit housing of around 40 percent is ensured.
Since the design plan does not exceed the framework for site developments, approval by the City Council is sufficient. (ah)
