Shaping Zurich's Development with Non-profit Housing

摘要

Around a quarter of the 220,000 residential units in the city of Zurich are non-profit rental apartments. They are managed either by the city administration, the city's own companies, or by one of the many non-profit housing cooperatives that exist in Zurich. The city has the highest non-profit market share of all cities in Switzerland and this has a huge impact on the affordability and quality of housing in a city that is more associated with its banking sector and high living costs, than its active housing policies.
