The new urban district in Bülach North will have an exceptionally high density by Swiss standards and, as such, will present a mixture of challenges and opportunities. The creation of a compact, well-designed residential development with a homely feel and high urban quality of life depends on a combination of factors: outstanding architecture, efficient transport systems, ample public open spaces, high standards of living comfort, secluded areas to retreat to, and space for encounters and communal activities. In the future Glasi-Quartier, residents’ needs will always be the main focus. Thanks to the broad mix of residential, commercial and service space, the new urban district will be highly attractive for its future residents, offering infrastructure for their daily needs. By offering diverse types of accommodation, the project – which includes some 450 affordable rental apartments plus 104 owner-occupied units – seeks to address large sections of the population, create a broad social mix and make the new urban quarter in Bülach North one of the most sought-after living and working locations in the Zurich Unterland region.
