The initial ‘Science City’ is the generic name for ETH’s vision of Science City as a ‘sustainable’ scientific development and building project university district focusing on science and the on the Hönggerberg campus. Occupying 32 city was developed in the early 2000s by hectares (79 acres) in the Höngg district, 5 means of a participative process, using kilometers northwest of downtown Zurich, ‘design labs.’ this campus is situated on the top of a hill amid fields and a forest open to the public, These workshops proposed some sixty overlooking the Limmat Valley.

  • The Hotel Boom in Zurich 2019 2
    The hotel boom in Zurich 2019 2 Foreword Over the last few years, we have been observing rapid growth in new hotels in the Zurich region. Competitive pressure is challenging the industry, and at the same time, there is increasing uncer- tainty among hoteliers: “Where is this heading?” or “Hotel boom? So what? We can’t do anything about it anyway.” The next question is always: “How much longer can we maintain our prices?” The reasons for this development are obvious. Around the world, city tourism is on the rise, the economy is thriving, Switzerland is more popular than ever as a travel destination, and Zurich is the city with the world’s second best quality of life (Mercer city ranking). Among other things, this is why Zurich has become Switzerland’s largest tourism region over the last few years. The situation bears witness to the well-known economic principle that additional demand is met by an increase in the supply of rooms. At the same time, the structural challenges in our industry still remain. The shortage of skilled labour will be exacerbated by new hotels. There is an increased risk of necessary investments being deferred because of potentially falling profits. The high cost structure and the currency situation are meanwhile applying further pressure to margins, which gives no hope of higher returns for investors. The driving factors of the construction boom, as described in the following study, are not factors that hoteliers can actually influence. Despite this, we have to ask ourselves what the business consequences of this development might be.

Published by Lyasis Edizioni, Sondrio, 2004 4 Foreword In the late summer of 2019, sixteen students, one intrepid van driver, and one native Alpine expert set out on a twelve-day hiking expedition across the Swiss and Italian Alps. This journey marked the fourth year that Dr. Reto Gieré has led students on a geological, historical, and gustatorial tour of his home. As a geology course, Penn in the Alps takes an ecological approach on the study of Alpine culture. Lectures range from topics on Earth sciences to Alpine folk instruments, while emphasizing the interdependence between the natural environment and human livelihood. The following pages present each student’s research paper on a selected aspect of the Alps or the Earth entire. The second part of the book contains their journal entries, in which each author shares their own gelato-permeated experience. 5 Group shot at Montebello Castle in Bellinzona, Switzerland.

  • Road-Rail Intersection Planning for New Limmattal Light Rail Train Line
    Limmattalbahn AG Road-Rail intersection planning for new Limmattal light rail train line 26.09.2021 Page 1 Road-Rail intersection planning for new Limmattal light rail train line Client Facts Limmattalbahn AG Period 2015 - 2022 Project Country Switzerland Railway length 13.4 km Average speed 22 km/h Maximum speed 60 km/h Project cost CHF 755 million The new Limmattal light rail train line will link the cantons of Zurich and Aargau. Playing a key role in this major construction project, the ÜK3 engineering consortium has assumed responsibility for planning the traffic-control systems along the railway, including the temporary systems that will need to be deployed during the construction phase. As the lead partner in the consortium, EBP is overseeing all traffic-control measures. The Limmat Valley is one of the most dynamic regions in Switzerland. Planners agree that it will be necessary to expand the public-transportation system to ensure the ability of the Limmat Valley’s communities to keep pace with economic developments. From the end of year 2020 onwards the new Limmattal light rail train line will connect the municipalities of Zürich-Altstetten, Schlieren, Urdorf, Dietikon, Spreitenbach and Killwangen. The first segment of the new light rail train line from Zürich-Altstetten to Schlieren is set to open in the fall of 2019. Reducing traffic congestion in the Limmat Valley One aim of the new Limmattal light rail train line with its 27 Station stops is to sustainably alleviate traffic congestion in the Limmat Valley and ensure sufficient public-transportation capacity. Altogether, the line will cross 54 signal-controlled, road-rail intersections.

The International Sediment Initiative (ISI) of UNESCO provides with its projects an important contribution to sustainable sediment and water management in river basins. With the processing of exemplary case studies from large river basins good examples of sediment management prac- tices have been prepared and successful strategies and procedures will be made accessible to experts from other river basins.

  • Die Rasche Absenkung Von Stauseen, Optimale Programme Für
    Nr. 23 Mitteilungen der Versuchsanstalt für Wasserbau, Hydrologie und Glaziologie an der Eidgenössischen Technischen Hochschule Zürich Herausgegeben von Prof. Dr. D. Vischer Die rasche Absenkung von Stauseen Optimale Programme für Stauseesysteme Anton Kühne 11 ~ 111~ ~11 Zürich, 1977 VORWORT In der Schweiz und in anderen Ländern s ind verschiedene Schutz­ konzepte in Kraft, um a llfälligen Gef'ahren zu begegnen, die zu einem Versagen von Talsperren führen könnten. Eines dieser Konzepte ist die s ogenannte Vorabsenkung. Sie sieht vor, bei drohender Gefahr die betroffenen Speicherseen rechtzeitig so­ weit abzusenken , dass ein Versagen ausgeschlossen oder zumin­ dest hinsichtlich seiner Auswirkungen flussabwärts gemildert wird. Weil damit zu rechnen ist, dass für eine sol che Vorabsenkung nur eine beschränkte Zeit zur Verfügung steht, muss sie mög• lichst rasch erfolgen können. Nun stellt aber die gleichzeiti­ ge Vorabsenkung mehrerer Speicher im selben Plussystem unter Umständen ein recht kompliziertes Koordinationsproblem dar, g ilt es doch, die beschränkte Kapazität der Abflussgerinne und eventuell Prioritäten bezüglich der Absenkung einzelner Speicher zu berücksichtigen. Wie sind dann d i e einzelnen Speicherabflüsse zu regulieren, damit die Vorabsenkung opti­ mal ablaufen kann? Die in der vorliegenden Studie entwickelten Lösungsvorschläge beruhen auf der linearen Programmierung . Sie sollen zeigen, wie die zu einer optimalen Vorabsenkung führenden Speich erab­ flüsse grundsätzlich zu berechnen sind. Für Vorabsenkungspro­ bleme der Praxis können diese Verfahren modifiziert werden. Es werden bewusst einfache Methoden präsentiert; sie sollen es ermöglichen, die Berechnung einer optimalen Vorabsenkung auch ohne grössere Rechenanlage, nur mit Hi lfe eines Rechen­ schiebers oder Taschenrechners , durchzuführen . Die gezei gten Beispie l e sind wirklichkeitsnah gewählt, beziehen s i ch aber nicht auf ein konkretes F lussystem.

Die Aussage des deutschen Dichters diente Moderator Stephan Klapproth als Ausgangspunkt seiner Gedanken über das Limmattal, das anders als Heine es unterstellt, weltoffen und innovativ sei. Und auch die anderen Teilnehmer am 19. Wirtschaftspodium, das dieses Jahr erstmals in der Umweltarena Spreitenbach über die Bühne ging, zeigten, dass das Limmattal, oder das Limmat Valley, wie es am Mittwochabend in Anlehnung an das Silicon Valley genannt wurde, schon einige Erfolgsgeschichten geschrieben hat und weiter schreibt.
