Abstract

<p>Im Viadukt, located approximately 1.5km west-northwest from Zurich Central Station, Switzerland, is a district where an old railroad viaduct and its surrounding areas were redeveloped. The first phase of the redevelopment plan was completed in 2010 and its development is still continued until present. The redevelopment method used, as is common practice in Europe, maintains the identity of regions by emphasizing the historical value. The current issue lies on the lack of shops that cater to the needs of the middle-aged and elderly, and the small number of visitors especially in the southern part of the district. However, the district substantially offers accessibility and universal design. If the types of stores are diversified and people are more encouraged to stroll around the commercial sites, this district will attract more attention as a model district for a mature society.</p>
