Public dialogue
The generation project for the external pageZurich City University District (HGZZ) is a joint initiative by the canton and city of Zurich, the University of Zurich (UZH), University Hospital Zurich (USZ) and ETH Zurich. Over the next 30 years, the centre of Zurich will see new construction projects that will secure the continued world-class development of the three institutions.
As part of the overall planning and further development of the Zurich City University District, the project partners (the canton and city of Zurich, University Hospital Zurich, the University of Zurich, and ETH Zurich) regularly hold joint and institution-specific information and dialogue events.

In addition, current construction projects are highlighted and described in more depth.
