Communal Zoning Plan Fribourg

Synthesis of the communal structure plan – Communal Zoning Plan Fribourg

The municipal master plan structures urbanization along the main road network. A continuous urban space with a city-like character is created, with the main axes and intersections defined as lively, multimodal urban spaces. The topography of the place (the Saane River, valleys, and hills), a defining and identity-shaping element, is also an important part of the master plan. Heritage conservation also plays a significant role.

The various maps of the municipal master plan of Fribourg visually represent the guiding principles and measures of urban development to enable an optimal and quick overall understanding. The entire development strategy is presented with the help of an overview map; the strategies regarding urbanization (densification and high-rise strategy), mobility, and landscape are detailed through individual maps and diagrams. At the same time, the maps serve as the basis for the city’s new zoning plan.
