Growth 2050″ project of the Canton of Zurich
The cantonal government of Zurich has launched the ‘Growth 2050’ project in order to be specifically prepared for the expected population growth of 450,000 people by 2050 and to develop strategic solutions.
In view of the forecasts predicting growth of 450,000 people in the canton of Zurich by 2050, the canton’s high level of attractiveness and quality of location are obvious. The coming years will be characterised by the challenge of shaping and sensibly managing growth, which is why this is a focus of government policy for 2023-2027. The “Growth 2050” project is being coordinated by the Department of Construction and aims to identify the strategic challenges and develop a consolidated cantonal objective. All policy areas are affected, which is why interdisciplinary cooperation is planned at cross-directorate level as well as with municipalities, regions and other stakeholders. The project report and implementation agenda should be available by spring 2027 to ensure sustainable planning and implementation.
