Your opinion counts! – Creating living space together
Under the leadership of Federal Councillor Guy Parmelin, representatives of the cantons, cities and municipalities as well as the construction and property industry and civil society have agreed on over 30 measures in the housing shortage action plan. The aim is to increase the supply of housing and create more high-quality, affordable and needs-based living space.
One of the measures “B 2.1” aims to increase the level of knowledge about the prevalence and nature of objections and their effect on the approval process for construction projects. The Federal Office for Spatial Development and the Federal Office for Housing commissioned Dr Joëlle Zimmerli (Zimraum GmbH) and Dr Christian Brütsch (Stratcraft GmbH) to conduct the survey in order to create an empirical basis for reducing obviously abusive objections and speeding up procedures.
Target groups of the survey
- Lawyers who advise building owners or work at a court or in a licensing authority.
- Clients, developers, architects and planners with experience in informal claims, objections and complaints.
- Clients, developers, architects and planners who are willing to contribute case studies.
