Study: Challenges and opportunities for urban manufacturing and retail in the City of Zurich
Manufacturing in urban settings can be challenging on account of the limited space, complex logistics, and steep rental fees. On the other hand, it also comes with clear advantages, including work-place quality, brand exposure, and proximity to customers.
Working together with the “Made in Zürich Initiative” and other partners, we drafted a set of guidelines that offers (1) a closer look at the conditions that need to be met by entrepreneurs interested in a Zurich-based production facility and (2) recommendations for public-sector administrators, real-estate developers, and manufacturers.
Our services

- Examination of site-specific advantages and challenges for urban manufacturing
