Munich: The city is arguing about high-rise buildings, in Basel they are building much higher – Munich

The Munich City Council undertakes an architectural trip to Basel because two towers dominate the cityscape there. They are even significantly higher than those planned for the parcel post hall. What lessons politics brings back.

Such a real model is a fine thing to talk about the development of a city. The model of Basel fills an entire room in the canton’s building department, it is about 30 square meters in size, which is based on the scale of 1:1000. 30,000 small buildings are mounted on it, and 40,000 saplings. The Rhine flows through the middle, the medieval town center is clearly visible, and all around it are high-rise buildings, many high-rise buildings. Some have already been built, such as the two Roche towers, 178 and 205 meters high, they are by far the tallest buildings in Switzerland.
