The project for the urban space around Basel's main railway station shows that the future of station squares is green and car-free! This is the only way to cope with the enormous traffic flows (300,000 pedestrians per day, 120 trams per hour) and keep the area pleasant in terms of urban climate.

With the clear YES vote, the residents' council emphasises its approval of the spatial development concept (REK) and the drafting of a structure plan. This sends a clear signal for the development of a new town centre near the railway station, better connections across the railway tracks and the revaluation of public spaces.

Net zero and 400,000 new inhabitants by 2050? The Territorial Cross-border Vision 2050 of the Grand Genève region shows how it must be done!
