The conference "Future Cities: Through Science. By Design. In Place. Over Time" brings together renowned experts from architecture, urban planning, politics, and society, including Momoyo Kaijima, Pierre de Meuron and Peter Sloterdijk. It takes place at ETH Zurich on 12 and 13 October 2023.

The area around the ETH main building is changing: a new university hospital, the FORUM UZH and a café will be built by the end of the decade. In addition, Rämistrasse and Gloriasstrasse will be completely redesigned, landscaped and traffic will be reorganised. In addition, ETH has initiated the final phase of its new building project GLC.

ETH Zurich will not complete a major expansion and renovation project of the canteen and multi-purpose building, which includes the Polyterrasse (“Renovation MM”). The MM building and Polyterrasse will remain in their current state and will not be expanded. However, in an initial phase, mandatory technical refurbishments will be completed.

By 2030, the Zurich City university district is set to undergo major changes. ETH will renovate its canteen and multi-purpose building under the Polyterrasse as well as the main building and forecourt. USZ and UZH will build a new hospital as well as an education and research centre. The streets, cycle paths and green spaces will be redesigned.
