Basel between regulation and reality
The mood in the Basel property world is tense, and rightly so. Anyone planning, redeveloping or investing in projects today feels the contradictions between political aspirations, economic reality and social expectations. Hardly any other economic region in Switzerland is currently as exemplary of this conflict of objectives as Basel. Highly regulated, but dynamic; small-scale, but internationally networked; self-confident, but increasingly insecure.
