Statistics on Swiss Towns 2020: A look beyond the core city limits
Neuchâtel, 12.05.2020 - In recent years Switzerland's resident population has grown particularly in areas with an urban character. Today almost three quarters of Switzerland’s population live in the 49 agglomerations and their core cities. This growth has been accompanied by the building of many new dwellings and the creation of jobs. Currently, 4.1 million jobs in the Swiss labour market are located in the agglomerations, where around 72.6% of establishments are based. These are some of the findings of the new “Statistics on Swiss Towns” from the Swiss Union of Cities and Towns (SSV) and the Federal Statistical Office (FSO), with a special focus on the agglomerations.
This press release and further information on this topic can be found on the FSO website (see link below).
