  • Neighbourhoods and the Politics of Scale
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2012 Neighbourhoods and the politics of scale Widmer, Céline ; van der Heiden, Nico Abstract: It is argued that the process of globalisation undermines the nation-state. From the perspective of the rescaling theory, however, the argument would rather be that the spatial dimensions of the state are being reorganised, leading to an upscaling as well as a downscaling of political steering capacities. With global cities becoming more important as nodes of capital accumulation, this results in a greater significance of locational politics for these cities. Although it has been researched how the neoliberal agenda has trickled down from the national level to the city, literature on rescaling has widely ignored the role of the sub-local scale. We argue that the neighbourhood scale has gained importance in the ”politics of scale” because city governments and even national governments are increasingly shifting neoliberal projects to the sub-local scale. We present empirical evidence on the Swiss politics of neighbourhood scale with a case study analysis of two deprived Zurich neighbourhoods. Based on qualitative expert interviews and an in-depth document analysis, we show that the cities’ policy to increase the quality of life in distressed neighbourhoods is closely related to Zurich’s overall economic strategy to promote the attractiveness of the city as a whole. We also show that political entities have discovered neighbourhoods as a relevant scale. We thus conclude our paper by pleading for a scalarly open analysis of the neoliberal turn, which has to include the sub-local scale.

Jan Beutel, General Chair, SenSys 2010 ! Page 2 ACM SenSys, 2010, ETH Zurich 03.-05. November 2010 Public Transport, Airport and Hotels Zurich airport (ZRH) Zurich airport is located to the north of Zurich and easily accessible via public transportation. More information can be found at http://www.zurich-airport.com/. Public transport - Tickets and fares The city of Zurich is divided into fare zones. Depending on where you travel to, you need to pay a different amount depending on the number of zones you are passing. Most of Zurich is within zone 10. Special (outside) locations such as the airport require a 3-zone ticket. Train tickets must be purchased before boarding. There are automatic ticket machines (see http://www.zvv.ch/en/tickets/automatic-ticket- machine/index.html), but they often only accept coins.
