Its results are being partially integrated into a new masterplan. The documentation of both phases is available through the City of Zurich\u2019s online exhibition.<br><br>Zurich\u2019s main station is both a major transportation hub and a central urban space. With over 460,000 users on weekdays, it serves five times more people daily than Zurich Airport at peak times &#8211; while occupying a pivotal location at the city\u2019s heart, radiating into all surrounding neighborhoods.<br><br>As a mobility hub, the station offers a wide range of transfer options and remains open and adaptable to future forms of mobility. In contrast, through-traffic by private motorized vehicles is to be gradually reduced.<br><br>As an urban space, the station connects &#8211; spatially, socially, and functionally. It is intended to be inclusive, flexibly usable, and atmospherically tangible. Its unique location between the Limmat and Sihl rivers is being reactivated: a space where people, modes of transport, urban scales, uses, and nature converge in dense coexistence.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The guiding vision defines clearly structured urban spaces that form a robust and forward-looking framework.<br>The Green Point establishes a coherent open space around the historic station building. It enhances the quality of stay along the water, increases permeable and planted surfaces, and proposes a substantial number of new trees.<br><br>Four stepping stones &#8211; Bahnhofplatz, Europaplatz, Sihlquai, and the square in front of the National Museum &#8211; -mark transitions and serve as gateways to adjacent city districts.<br>Finally, the Urban Platform weaves the station into the fabric of the city: it consolidates entrances to Shopville, provides orientation, and integrates public transit stops, Kiss &amp; Ride zones, and shared mobility services &#8211; forming a clear interface between station, city, and people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10471,"menu_order":124,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"project-type":[86],"project-tag":[90,87,212,283],"class_list":["post-10470","projects","type-projects","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project-type-large-scale","project-tag-masterplan","project-tag-open-space-concept","project-tag-railway-station","project-tag-vulkan-urban"],"acf":{"featured":true,"hero_image":15818,"home_order":13,"main_images":[12998,12982,13002,12988,12971,12990,13000,12992,12978,12996,12974,12976,12986,12994],"process_images":"","hover_image":10471,"hide":false},"translations":{"en":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/projects\/2483-masterplan-central-district-zurich\/","de":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/projekte\/2483-testplanung-masterplan-hb-zuerich\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/10470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/projects"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/10470\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18239,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/10470\/revisions\/18239"}],"acf:attachment":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12994"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12986"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12976"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12974"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12996"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12978"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12992"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13000"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12990"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12971"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12988"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13002"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12982"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12998"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project-type?post=10470"},{"taxonomy":"project-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project-tag?post=10470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
