The city council is pursuing the goal of freeing the banks of the Rhine from motorised traffic and transforming it into a lively centre for leisure, living and business. This redevelopment offers Schaffhausen a unique opportunity to sustainably improve the quality of life in the city and promote tourism at the same time. The focus is on the expansion of green and open spaces as well as new housing and jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The development strategy includes concrete steps to realise this vision, building on the results of an urban planning study and public consultations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, potential studies are being carried out to clarify the economic feasibility of catering and commercial uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the redesign of the banks of the Rhine, Schaffhausen is opening a new chapter in its urban development – towards a more sustainable, liveable and economically stronger future.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Schaffhausen is planning a comprehensive redesign of the Rhine embankment promenade to make the town more attractive and liveable.

The implementation will be realised in several sub-projects over a period of twelve years until 2036. The sub-projects include the new connecting road, the development of the Gaswerk site and the upgrading of the Rhine embankment promenade. This division allows for gradual realisation and creates planning security for all parties involved. Interim utilisation is planned for the Gaswerk site until construction begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project requires public sector investment totalling around CHF 35 million, of which the city will bear around CHF 22 million. The remaining costs will be co-financed by the federal government and the canton. Private investment in residential and commercial space significantly increases the economic benefits of the project and promotes urban development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to implement the project efficiently, a fundamental vote is proposed. At the same time, all operational decisions will be delegated to the City Council in order to minimise the implementation risk and increase planning certainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
