Permanent position

Amt für Städtebau

At the Amt für Städtebau, we are planning the Zurich of tomorrow today. We weave the history of the city with visions of the future for livable neighborhoods of high urban design quality. We create the prerequisites so that Zurich can change and grow. High urban design and architectural quality is our goal.

The Area Development & Planning South/West department consists of a team of spatial planners, architects, and geographers who supervise private or municipal area developments, particularly those with a need for adjustment in land-use planning. Furthermore, the team is co-responsible for topics such as the informal participation of broad segments of the population in urban planning or the implementation of the municipal structural plan for settlement, landscape, public buildings, and facilities. For this department, we are looking for a dedicated team member as of 1 February 2027 or by arrangement.
