Adliswil directly borders the City of Zurich and is the gateway to the Zurich Park Side. Only a few minutes away from the economic metropolis, Adliswil is a wonderful place to live and work. Numerous opportunities for sports and recreational activities, a broad range of cultural events and organisations, as well as a lively city centre make Adliswil a versatile and attractive city. Adliswil is located in the middle of Switzerland’s most import- ant economic region and has a diverse infrastructure for business. Large office complexes providing space for interna- tionally active companies are available in the Sood district. The area around the former Mechanical Silk Weaving Mill (MSA) is a historically attractive industrial area that provides office and business premises directly on the Sihl River. Adliswil has developed rapidly in recent years and almost 19,000 people live here today. A new district that will con- tinue to grow in the years to come has emerged in the Dietlimoos area. The city’s growth is sustainable, and we will ensure the city continues to provide a modern infrastructure for care and education as well as leisure activities. We are also constantly expanding the range of services for senior citizens. Adliswil offers various forms of support, including personal neighbourhood meeting points and re- tirement apartments, as well as old-age and care facilities. Adliswil is a city for all generations. We look forward to meeting you.
