Zurich Hosts Urban Trilogue to Tackle Climate and Housing Challenges
Zurich is currently hosting the Urban Trilogue, a high-level meeting between leaders from Hamburg, Vienna, and Zurich. The event brings together city officials to discuss shared urban challenges and develop sustainable solutions. This year's agenda covers climate protection, mobility, housing, and social projects.
The initiative began in 2019, founded by Peter Tschentscher of Hamburg, Michael Ludwig of Vienna, and Corine Mauch of Zurich. Since then, the cities have taken turns hosting the meetings, with Zurich welcoming delegates for the second time in 2026.
This year's programme includes visits to key locations across the city. Attendees will tour the Schwamendingen Enclosure, the University Children's Hospital, and the Chipperfield extension of the Kunsthaus Zurich. A stop at a support centre for people who use drugs is also planned.
Alongside site visits, the schedule features a meeting with Zurich's full City Council. Ambassadors from Austria and Germany to Switzerland will also take part in discussions. The focus remains on exchanging ideas about sustainable energy, circular economy practices, urban transport, and affordable housing.
The Urban Trilogue aims to strengthen collaboration between the three cities through mutual learning. By sharing experiences and best practices, Hamburg, Vienna, and Zurich seek to address pressing urban issues. The outcomes of this year's meeting will shape future policies in sustainability and social development.
