The landscaped avenues and spacious plazas of this new quarter will encourage passers-by and residents to linger and relax. Because Europaallee will connect the exclusive railway station district and the up-and-coming and popular district around Langstrasse it will absorb excitement and influences from both sides and a new urban character will evolve. The immediate neighbourhood around “Kassernenareal” will also be attractive for leisure and cultural opportunities. The focus on education extends into the neighbouring area around “Kassernenareal”. The proximity to Zurich’s main railway station also ensures that this new quarter will be a place in which a diversity of professional, social and age groups can come together: from business executives to students from shop keepers to those involved in the arts and in culture.
