Zurich’s voice in Bern – cities as actors in the national political arena

On Monday, March 15, 2021, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., the final event for the “City of the Future – Insights from Outside” project will take place as a live stream via YouTube. On the podium, Corine Mauch, Mayor of Zurich, Thomas Scheitlin, former Mayor of St. Gallen, Alfred Heer, National Councilor, and Prof. David Kaufmann, Professor of Spatial Development and Urban Policy ETH Zurich, will discuss the “voices of the cities in Bern”. The focus is on the question of the possibilities that a city like Zurich has to exert influence on the national political agenda in cooperation with other actors. What significance do cities have for regional, national and international policy making? Which positioning strategies are suitable for a city like Zurich in order to bring their knowledge, their experiences and their specific concerns into the political discourse?

This event marks the end of the third project in the “City of the Future” series of urban development Zurich. The event will be moderated by Sebastian Ramspeck, SRF correspondent in Brussels. The interactive format gives the audience the opportunity to use the comment function to ask questions that are picked up by the moderator. It is not necessary to register for the event. We look forward to welcoming you virtually to this event.
