  1. Interesting the location . I understand rivers are a really important connection network , but with all that rivers around, the possibility of a flood must be really high and I have never understood why not move the cities around big rivers a little bit further away and high, not kilometers, but searching for the highest point around a river.

    this is very cool!

    It still surprises me how much how Bahnhofstrasse used to be a river (/sewage?). In general it’s interesting how the Sihl going into Zürisee was moved/ blocked up over the years. Must have been a nice place way back when. Also the development of the exit of Zürisee, esp now around HB is crazy. I guess everything about this is crazy. From nothing to something with so much money

  3. Bahnhofstrasse used to be “Fröschengraben”

    Also basically everything between Zürihorn and Mythenquai are landfills from the 1850s, including Bellevue, Bürkliplatz, Rentenwiese, Quaibrücke, etc.

    The poshest and most postcard looking part of Zurich is literally built on shit and landfills. Including the insurances residing there now, standing for stability and credibility.
