Zürich, March 2024

Der Wandel von der Industrie- zur Dienstleistungsgesellschaft schafft Chancen für Quartiere und ganze Städte. Die Fachtagung Dialog Standortmanagement geht am 12. März auf die integrale Standortentwicklung Winterthurs und auf die Umnutzung der ehemaligen Kartonfabrik zum Bernapark ein.

The Swiss Association for Site Management(SVSM) is holding its traditional Dialogue Site Management conference on 12 March. According to a press release, this time the network for experts from location and business development and the property industry will focus on urban and site development.

Bettina Furrer will provide insights into Winterthur’s integral site development. The head of the city’s Urban Development Office is responsible for economic and site development, housing policy and Winterthur’s Smart City programme. The former industrial city has developed into a location at the interface of industry, services, health and culture. With Smart Machines, Smart Energy and Smart Health, three clusters for the intelligent further development of the economy have been established on the basis of the location’s existing strengths.

Caroline Forte presents the development of the site of the former cardboard factory in the Bernese suburb of Stettlen into the Bernapark area. The neighbourhood combines living and working, education and leisure, culture and innovation in historic buildings and new constructions. As a member of the management and board of directors of Bernapark AG, Caroline Forte is responsible for communication and project management.

The symposium will take place in the Gleisarena Zurich, starts at 4 pm and is open to the public. It will be preceded by the SVSM Annual General Meeting. A decision will also be taken on the renaming of the organisation to Network Location Switzerland. The new name is intended to reflect the intended expansion of the association’s activities to the whole of Switzerland.
