Development Building Switzerland
Due to numerous factors such as climate change or natural hazards, construction projects in Switzerland have been under great pressure to adapt for some time. With three initiatives of a research team, the need for action could be concretized in order to develop more target-oriented strategies.
Reducing carbon dioxide emissions from heating, building more densely, rethinking mobility and transportation: these are the buzzwords that now come to mind for many contemporaries when they think of urgent questions about building culture and infrastructure. Some time ago, a small circle of experts from the project "Building Switzerland" apart.
Several aspects under pressure to adapt
In a new roadmap under the title "Building Switzerland is under pressure to adapt!" the team of experts specifies five segments that will be particularly affected by the upcoming challenges. These include the building stock, the infrastructure for goods and personnel transport, and the drinking water and wastewater networks.
In a matrix, the need for action and the impact potential for measures in passenger transport and buildings are classified as particularly high.
Three initiatives
The research team proposes three initiatives: First, increased research to expand existing knowledge; second, the necessary continuing education so that it quickly reaches professionals in the field; and third, an impulse program to make useful information available to all interested parties in the form of documentation and other tools. The goal of the roadmap is to demonstrate the importance of Switzerland as a building for society, to specify the need for action, and to raise awareness that a goal-oriented strategy can only be developed from an overarching overall view.
