Zurich Zurich is a city that has incredible infrastructure. Trains are the backbone of transportation in Zurich and Switzerland. basically functioning as a Metro system. Good and exact frequency intervals, and an unbeatable offer that sometimes duplicates in some areas. More than 38% of final energy use and about 40% of Switzerland’s CO2 emissions are related to mobility and transportation. Furthermore, mobility is one of the few sectors where energy use and CO2 emission still increase.Mobility is of central importance to the Swiss energy transition and to climate policy. Substantial research on future mobility systems is underway, focusing mostly on new or more efficient ways to meet an increasing demand. So far, approaches for influencing the overall demand for mobility or the consumer acceptance of efficient technologies and mobility services are not well covered in the existing infrastructure. What are the implications of such mobility infrastructure for quality of life, social capital, ecology and economy under a sustainable designed system?
