Ouest Lausannois, a city with 10-minute-neighbourhoods?

Since 1980, Switzerland has required efficient land use. However, even today, there is still a deficit in its implementation. In Swiss spatial planning, the law is not sufficiently applied. This led to the SNF-Agora-funded science communication project "Proximity is the future: every contribution counts!"

the 10-Minute-Neighborhoods concept presented in this exhibition aims to raise awareness of this issue and stimulate discussion about the required sustainable transformation of our urban areas. It shows how, using the example of the 10-Minute-Neighborhoods, which significantly reduce land and resource consumption, effective implementation of the law can be achieved. Interaction between urban researchers, the construction sector, planning authorities, political decision-makers, and the general public is necessary for this.

This project is being carried out by Sibylle Wälty, spatial development researcher at ETH Wohnforum - ETH CASE

Walk & Round Table
Take a fresh look at Lausanne West on the occasion of the Voisinage-de-10-minutes exhibition at EPFL. During a guided walk, you will discover if and how your municipality is already implementing the principles of 10-minute neighbourhoods and what potential can still be exploited.

The walk takes place on Monday 25 November at 4 p.m. in Renens, Place de la Gare, south side, in front of the entrance to the old station building.

The walk will be followed by a round-table discussion during which experts and local players will highlight the opportunities and challenges of this innovative concept and answer your questions. With Jean-Christophe Boillat, Sascha Nick, Ariane Widmer Pham, Sibylle Wälty.

Round table Monday 25 November at 6pm, Foyer SG, EPFL
