This page sets out some information about developments involved in the transformation of the Klybeck site. You can find more detailed information about the activities of the three planning partners, the Canton of Basel-Stadt, Rhystadt AG and Swiss Life AG, as well on dialog and participation activities,on the Klybeckplus website.
The urban planning model is the overall plan for the construction and potential uses of the Klybeck-site. Not only does it serve as an orientation framework for planning and a guiding principle for construction and infrastructure projects, but it is also a foundation for all future planning. The model provides information on the planned ratio of working to residential and where green spaces, nurseries and schools should be located.
The three planning partners presented the Klybeckplus urban planning model to the general public on September 20, 2022. These partners – the Canton of Basel-Stadt, Swiss Life and Rhystadt – devised the model in collaboration with the interdisciplinary planning team of Diener & Diener Architekten, Vogt Landschftsarchitekten, Gruner traffic consultants and the curator Martin Heller, and with the assistance of an advisory body. Consulting the population was deemed to be of utmost importance, as it would be inconceivable to proceed with urban development without their input.

The dialog and participation activities in early 2021 and in the summer of that year concerned the ‘master plan.’ Here, for the first time, specific information on the urban layout, free space and distribution of uses was provided as part of the development of the urban planning model.
The various discussions centered on one question: “If you examine the state of the planning considerations for the development of the Klybeck-site, what is your assessment? Are you convinced by the master plan for the development of the district? What are you/are you not convinced about? What else should be taken into consideration?”
