The Swiss Städtekonferenz Mobilität (transl: City Conference on Mobility) publishes a "Städtevergleich Mobilität" (transl: City comparison on mobility) for the six biggest German-speaking Swiss cities (Basel, Bern, Luzern, St.Gallen, Winterthur and Zürich), every couple of years. It is based on combining federal data and data the cities collect themselves. The reports are published here: https://skm-cvm.ch/de/Info/Fakten/Stadtevergleich_Mobilitat

Every year, modal shares between cities are reported. Currently reported years are 2010, 2015, 2021. Modal shares are calculated as the percentages of the main mode of transport per trip ("Hauptverkehrsmittel pro Weg", p. 18 of report for 2021).

This repository provides a dataset, which is a manual transcription of modal shares reported on page 18 of the report for 2021 to make modal share data available in CSV format. The original report is attached as well. The repository contains the following files:

• modal_shares_staedtevergleich.csv: The modal shares dataset (CSV file)
• variables.csv: Variable descriptions for modal_shares_staedtevergleich.csv (CSV file)
• staedtevergleich_2021_231030.pdf: PDF report (original data source) retrieved on 15.5.2025 from https://skm-cvm.ch/de/Info/Fakten/Stadtevergleich_Mobilitat

The data collected on members of the local elites of the three largest city-regions (Basel, Geneva and Zurich) are integrated in the more general OBELIS database on Swiss Elites. Currently, the OBELIS database includes elites from four sectors at the national level: Economic, Political, Administrative and Academic (+ national sociability associations) and covers nine dates: 1890, 1910, 1937, 1957, 1980, 2000, 2010, 2015 and 2020. The elite status of individuals is defined by the position/function held in these four spheres at the date mentioned. A description of all the different samples of the Swiss elites can be consulted on the website. The data allows researchers to understand the elites through a relational analysis (network analysis) to highlight the interrelations between these elites. The data is also suitable to conduct prosopographical analysis. As for national elites, the identification of local elites of the three largest Swiss city-regions also follows a positional approach by selecting all individuals occupying leading positions in the major local economic, political, cultural and academic institutions for the 7 benchmark years: 1890, 1910, 1937, 1957, 1980, 2000 and 2020. For the economic sphere we collected information on all the committee members of the regional chambers of commerce as well as directors of the most important companies of the three cities’ leading economic sectors. This includes the major banks and insurance companies for the financial sector; for Basel, all the major textile (until 1937) and chemical-pharmaceutical companies; for Geneva, the major watch-making companies, as well as a few other industrial companies; and for Zurich, all the major companies from the machine industry. The total number of companies varies from 49 in 1890 to 35 in 2020. The smaller sample for the recent period is due to the strong concentration process in all economic sectors, involving mergers and acquisitions as well as bankruptcies. For these companies, all CEOs/general directors and directors’ board members were taken into account. For the political sphere, we included all members of the cantonal (regional) and local (city) parliaments and governments for Geneva and Zurich, whereas in Basel, where the city’s territory fully coincides with the canton, only the members of the cantonal parliament and government were considered. For the academic sphere we include all full and extraordinary (associate) professors of the three cities’ universities until 1957, and, for the more recent dates, a selection of professors according to the occupation of institutional positions or according to their scientific reputation. Finally, the committee members of the three cities’ fine art societies are included as urban elites from the cultural sphere.

In 2023, the average rent in Swiss cities ranged between ** Swiss franks per square meter and ** Swiss franks per square meter. In the fourth quarter of 2023, Zurich had the highest rent, at **** Swiss franks per square meter. In 2023, Switzerland was the country with the highest share of population living in rented housing in Europe.
