Introduction

Lugano today has over 68 thousand inhabitants and is the ninth largest Swiss city, whilst in terms of its surface, it ranks second. The city spreads over 75 km², stretching from the slopes of San Salvatore to the Monte Brè and up to the top of the mountain.

The city has wide residential areas, a large “green lung”, springs, woods and gardens, the lake, a charming and a wide range of cultural and leisure activities. Lugano is an attractive city, attentive to optimize the use of its resources, responsive and eager to support the development of new social, environmental and business opportunities.

The Lugano in Figures brochure, edited by our Urban Statistics Service, offers an interesting overview of demographic and geographical changes underway in the city. In particular, the data concerning the population, schools, housing and business activities reveal a dynamic, constantly expanding city aiming at consolidating its position as a service’s platform, and as a cultural crossroads between the North and South of Europe. I hope that our readers will find the information contained in this brochure interesting and useful.

After the first historical grouping process occurred in 1972, the various ways. Municipality of Lugano specifically promoted Municipal groupings between 2004 and 2013, when the last three and most important grouping stages The georeferencing method adopted associates all the indicators (population, occurred. business activities, buildings…) to the urban territory (neighbourhoods, Grouped sections or variable cells), an innovative approach, also at national level. 6.5 km Municipalities The change from merely time-based analysis and statistics to a space-time Brè-Aldesago model capable of analysing data all the way down to the level of urban blocks - Lugano based on georeferenced indicators, allows us to carry out much more targeted analysis with regard to all the aspects of the urban and development policies.

10 11 Territorial structure Territorial structure

Territorial diversity From the North to the South, for example, we can see the variety and diverse quality of the territory: starting with Valcolla, a neighbourhood whose Today, the city of Lugano is a widespread urban reality, highly structured in topography is complex and distinguished by isolated settlements with a strong terms of morphology, function and identity. The basic aggregative element, historical identity, combined with agricultural areas and woodland, up to the the neighbourhood, takes many different forms in Lugano, deriving from the slopes of Mount Gazzirola; through the neighbourhoods of the closest urban development history and its social and economic structure. As elsewhere, hinterland, such as Davesco-Soragno and Cadro, that are less compact and the Lugano agglomeration has also experienced an urban expansion that has include isolated settlements and low-density expansion areas which spread steadily incorporated the outskirts and the closest periurban and suburban out from the settlements along the main traffic axes. areas. Davesco- On top of this urban development dynamics, the city has witnessed a process Soragno of aggregation that gave rise to a city comprising urban neighbourhoods and more peripheral villages (with their historic centers). During the various Cadro political aggregations, the city gained huge areas and landscapes together with varied Municipalities, often distinguished by a strong specific identity, in addition to many historic centres of considerable quality and cultural significance, some of which have been classified as of national importance in the federal inventories. Valcolla

The central area, with its historic centre, initially turned inward rather than toward the lake, surrounded by neighbourhoods with a more regular structure built after the mid-nineteenth century and after the San Gotthard railway arrived at Lugano, with a succession of public and residential buildings as well as buildings for service industries; an expansion started from the boundary walls of the ancient cloister in the Old Town, then moved towards the surrounding countryside in the direction of Cassarate, Molino Nuovo, upstream the railroad in the Besso neighbourhood and then towards Viganello and Pregassona.

12 13 Territorial structure Territorial structure

To the south, the Pian Scairolo commercial and industrial area, whose rapid Centro development is closely related to regional, national and international accessibility thanks to the proximity of the continental motorway axis, and the additional transition area towards the residential neighbourhoods and historic center of Barbengo: a district where the territorial development dynamics of the first urban growth circle can be seen, in this case, closely related to the lake. Barbengo

Pian Scairolo

Due to its territorial, social and economic structure, the city is a wide-ranging, multi-polar area: New Lugano just like the Canton and the Confederation, nowadays has to take into account and soundly manage and promote the dynamics arising from a multi-centric local structure.
