The project explores sustainable methods to transform the urban environment in Switzerland. Innovative strategies for soft densification preserve the character of the neighbourhood, reduce CO2 emissions, and maintain affordable living space. In four Swiss cities, the project demonstrates how these measures can be planned effectively and in a socially sustainable manner.
