The first round of elections in the city of Zurich will take place on March 8, 2026. With regard to this important election in the largest municipality in our canton (with an impact beyond the cantonal borders), SVIT Zurich is recommending seven candidates for election. They are members of the relevant commissions HBD/SE (Department of Buildings, Urban Development) and FD (Department of Finance) or hold important positions in their parties. Newcomers who are not yet members of the municipal council are also included.
However, all seven candidates share a common interest: To advance a liberal housing and real estate policy for Zurich that addresses the current challenges on the housing market quickly and effectively.
The “Built&Rent” game brings to life the pressure that real estate professionals are under – and how political decisions shape the sector. Great learning and non-cash prizes can be won. From numerous Apple vouchers to free participation in SVIT Zurich training courses and seminars. Participation is free for everyone. SVIT membership is not required. Political education becomes an interactive experience! It’s played like “Tetris”.
