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:
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.

The Switzerland data center market is experiencing robust growth, driven by the nation's strong economy, increasing digitalization across sectors, and the rising demand for cloud services. The strategic location of Switzerland, its political stability, and robust infrastructure make it an attractive hub for data center investments. Zurich, as a major financial and technological center, dominates the market, attracting significant investment in large and hyperscale facilities. However, other regions are also witnessing growth, fueled by the expansion of digital infrastructure beyond major cities. The market is segmented by data center size (small, medium, mega, massive), tier type (Tier 1-4), absorption rate (utilized vs. non-utilized), colocation type (hyperscale, retail, wholesale), and end-user vertical (BFSI, cloud, e-commerce, government, manufacturing, media & entertainment, IT, and others). While the exact market size is not provided, a reasonable estimate based on similar European markets with comparable digital infrastructure and economic development, suggests a market size in the range of several hundred million Swiss francs in 2025, experiencing a substantial CAGR. This growth is further supported by the substantial presence of major global players like Equinix and NTT Ltd., alongside regional providers, indicating a competitive yet dynamic market landscape. Challenges include energy costs and sustainability concerns, which are being addressed through increasing adoption of renewable energy sources and energy-efficient technologies. The growth trajectory of the Swiss data center market is projected to remain positive over the forecast period (2025-2033). Continued investment in digital infrastructure, driven by government initiatives to promote digital innovation and the expansion of 5G networks, is anticipated to fuel further demand. The growing adoption of edge computing, to address latency issues for real-time applications, will also drive growth in smaller, strategically located data centers. Furthermore, the increasing adoption of cloud-based services by businesses across all sectors, along with stringent data privacy regulations, will bolster the demand for secure and compliant data center infrastructure in Switzerland. Competition will likely intensify, with existing players expanding their capacity and new entrants entering the market, leading to price optimization and innovation in service offerings. Recent developments include: January 2023: A new data center facility has opened in Zurich's Dielsdorf neighborhood owing to Swiss data center operator Green. On a 46,000 sqm (495,150 sq ft) site, the Zurich Metro campus will eventually consist of three buildings (M, N, and O).September 2022: In Switzerland's Zurich, Equinix has expanded the size of one of its data centers. An extra 850 square meters (9,150 square feet) of whitespace and more than 200 cabinets have been added to the colocation giant's ZH4 IBX.June 2022: The second data center in Zurich will be erected in the Beringen industrial district, on the site of a former tennis club, according to STACK Infrastructure ("STACK"), the digital infrastructure partner of the enterprises and a global developer and operator of data centers.. Notable trends are: OTHER KEY INDUSTRY TRENDS COVERED IN THE REPORT.
