Stocks und Flows in Oerlikon The Zurich city district Oerlikon has undergone a major transformation over the last decades from an industrial quarter to a highly upgraded district with modern residential and living spaces as well as office space for global and well-known companies. Oerlikon, which was above all an industrial area in the past, is today one of the fastest growing districts of Zurich. In Oerlikon are, among other things, the Hallenstadion, the Oerlikon open racecourse and the former Züspa exhibition center, which since 1998 has been combined in the exhibition center of Messe Zürich. The Zurich Oerlikon station is one of the ten largest railway stations in Switzerland. It is also an important hub in the S-Bahn Zurich network and also offers connections to national long-distance traffic. He forms a bottleneck for train traffic. With the construction of the second transit station (project Löwenstrasse) and the Weinberg tunnel at least partially remedy was created. Since 2016, the station has been massively expanded and has its own shopping arcade. All these flows as living spaces, offices or railways make Oerlikon a dynamic city part of Zurich.
