Anfangs Oktober sprach ich an der TEDxZurich-Konferenz über mein Lieblingsthema: die Agglo. Und darum ging es:

For nearly sixty years, Swiss intellectuals, urban planners and architects have been ranting and raving about the way the country’s landscape is developing. But each society gets the landscape it deserves. So why has Switzerland been landed with urban sprawl? Because that is the way we want to live: commuting gives stability to our complicated lives. Thus, instead of arguing against the supposedly immoral form of the suburban lifestyle, we should try to make it sustainable. Sprawl is our future – whether we like it or not.
