Anyone looking for a free apartment will need a lot of patience and luck to find something suitable in many regions. Because the rush for free apartments is enormous, especially in cities.

Minister of Economic Affairs Guy Parmelin (64) has now also recognized the problem. Last May he invited the key players to a round table. Representatives of the federal government, cantons, municipalities, the real estate sector and interest groups agreed to work together to identify measures that would combat the housing shortage. According to estimates, there will be a shortage of more than 50,000 apartments in Switzerland by 2026.

Taller buildings as a suggestion

The second round of talks is scheduled for Tuesday in Federal Bern. Afterwards, SVP magistrate Parmelin wants to present an action plan. It presents 35 measures, as Blick previously reported.

The participants in the round table would like to start with densification, for example through taller buildings in already built-up areas. In addition, communities should be supported in developing spatial development strategies. (she)
