The Zurich Story
Green City
Nature. Climate. Urban Life.

Zurich is consistently ranked among the world's most liveable cities.
But that isn't simply a coincidence.
Behind its parks, tree-lined streets and rivers lies a fascinating story of climate adaptation, biodiversity and urban planning. Together we'll discover how nature quietly shapes everyday life—and how Zurich is preparing for the challenges of tomorrow.

What makes this story different?
This isn't a walk through botanical gardens.
It's a different way of looking at the city.
We'll explore why some trees survive for centuries while others struggle after only a few decades, how public spaces are adapting to a changing climate, and why every tree planted in Zurich is the result of countless decisions about ecology, history and urban life.
You'll leave seeing the city's green spaces as carefully designed living infrastructure—not simply decoration.

You'll never look at Zurich the same way again.
You'll experience...
• Why can one tree cool an entire street?
• Why is Zurich planting trees from China and North America?
• Why is one of the city’s most beautiful trees surprisingly bad for biodiversity?
The city itself is a living, evolving ecosystem rather than just a collection of streets and buildings.
