Residents of different ages have different needs.

Condensation, ageing of society, digitalisation are current realities that have an impact on our living environments.

We research the connections and effects and develop solutions. The focus is on the question of how we create or maintain quality of life - for whom, in what way and why.

Mobility is, for example, an important factor of quality of life with increasing age in terms of independence. Spatial references and connections have a direct influence on infrastructure planning, which in turn has a retroactive effect on the daily quality of life. The visualization shows a rich data basis based on the object of observation 'Zurich'. Households are linked to specific infrastructures (points of interest) and bundled into common 'corridors'. The different needs of young and old (coloured red and blue respectively) become visible.
