Risch Rotkreuz ZG – While dense urban development in cities is needed to prevent increased land consumption, it should not come at the expense of parks, public grounds and gardens. This was the focus of the 2nd Sustainability Forum of the real estate company Zug Estates.
The quality of public space is becoming more and more important in the face of urban densification, as was emphasised at the 2nd Sustainability Forum of Zug Estates held in Risch Rotkreuz in the canton of Zug.
According to a statement from the property developer and manager, around 200 representatives from politics, research and business attended the forum and dealt with issues such as how a green counterpart can be added to the paradigm of architectural densification.
At the event, Zug Estates CEO Tobias Achermann also presented the company’s Sustainability Report 2016, which focused this year on the subject of green densification.
“Areas with green density and diversity – even when building upwards – as well as traffic-free outdoor spaces that offer a high quality of living are the tangible result of our strategy,” said Achermann.
The fact that the company was awarded the certificate from the Stiftung Natur & Wirtschaft confirms that it is pursuing the right path, said Achermann.
