Quartier inspiriert

A compact, cozy urban balcony transformed into a tiny oasis of sustainability, with overflowing planter boxes of strawberries and tomatoes, a small vertical garden made from upcycled wooden crates, and a simple folding table topped with glass jars of dried herbs and homemade cleaners. A striped fabric awning casts soft, diffused light over the space, creating gentle shadows on the textured concrete floor. In the background, blurred rooftops and chimneys suggest a dense neighborhood. Photographed from a slightly elevated angle, the composition follows the rule of thirds, highlighting resourcefulness and charm. The mood is playful and inviting, emphasizing that sustainable living can thrive even in the smallest corners, rendered in warm, photographic realism.

Inspiriert

Ideen, Menschen und Aktionen aus Alt-Wiedikon und Binz, die zeigen, wie nachhaltiger Alltag im Quartier einfach, gemeinschaftlich und inspirierend sein kann.

Unser Team

Unsere Gruppe von Personen hat sich zusammen gefunden, um Ideen für das Quartier Alt-Wiedikon / Binz zu entwickeln.

Beim Climathon 2025 (auf den 1. Platz prämiert von der Stadt Zürich) haben wir unter dem Namen Sustain & Gain ein Projekt entwickelt, das Bewohner*innen, Handel-Treibende und Organisationen ansprechen will.

Nachhaltige Ideen werden aufgenommen, angeschaut und eingeordnet . Zuerst schauen wir, was ist. Wer macht bereits was? Daraus möchten wir einen nachhaltigen Quartierrundgang entwickeln.

In einem nächsten Schritt wollen versuchen Challenges – also die Frage wie kann ich mein nachhaltiges Verhalten messen – und allenfalls mit anderen Situationen vergleichen. Hier sind wir noch in der Recherche. Die hoffentlich weitergeht mit den Menschen im Quartier, die sich für Quartierrundgang und nachhaltiges Verhalten interessieren. We’ll keep you posted!

A colorful courtyard waste-sorting station in a residential block, featuring clearly labeled bins for paper, plastic, glass, organic waste, and a small box for batteries, all in different bright colors with playful, hand-drawn icons of items that belong inside. The bins stand on clean paving stones beside a planted strip of wildflowers and native grasses, with a climbing vine wrapping around a metal fence in the background. Gentle overcast daylight provides soft, even illumination without harsh shadows, bringing out the saturated hues of the bins. Photographed straight on at eye level with sharp focus throughout, the composition is orderly and visually clear. The mood is educational yet light-hearted, underlining that proper sorting can be easy and even fun, realized in crisp photographic realism.

A cheerful shared courtyard in a European apartment block, filled with raised wooden garden beds overflowing with herbs, salad greens, and colorful edible flowers. A small rain barrel with a hand-painted leaf motif stands beside a neatly labeled compost bin made from reclaimed pallets. Fallen leaves and a few terracotta pots add texture around the edges. Soft late-afternoon sunlight filters between buildings, creating playful patches of light and shadow on the cobblestone ground. Shot at eye level with gentle depth of field, foreground plants in crisp focus and the courtyard softly blurred. The atmosphere feels playful, hopeful, and community-oriented, captured in warm, photographic realism with vibrant, natural colors and a clean, modern aesthetic.

Person C und Person D

A sunlit stairwell landing in an apartment building transformed into a small sharing station, with a simple wooden shelf holding neatly stacked books, board games, and labeled glass jars of seeds, alongside a basket of gently used kitchen utensils. A handwritten sign with playful lettering reads "Teilen statt kaufen" above the shelf. Morning light streams through a tall window, casting long, soft shadows on the painted wall and highlighting the textures of worn book spines and woven baskets. Shot from a slightly elevated angle down the staircase, the composition leads the eye toward the sharing shelf as a focal point. The mood is warm, neighborly, and inviting, captured in bright, photographic realism with lively colors and a tidy, authentic atmosphere.

Rezensionen

A bright, tidy shared laundry room in a residential building, with neatly arranged glass jars of homemade detergent powder, vinegar, and baking soda on a reclaimed wooden shelf above energy-efficient front-loading machines. A chalkboard mounted on the wall lists playful sustainability tips in casual handwriting, surrounded by small doodles of leaves and water droplets. Soft overhead lighting and a nearby frosted window create balanced, even illumination with subtle reflections on the machine doors. Shot at a slightly wide angle to show the whole setup, everything is in clear focus. The mood is practical yet fun, suggesting easy, everyday changes for a more sustainable neighborhood life, depicted in photographic realism with a clean, modern, colorful look.

Seit ich beim Quartiersprojekt mitmache, teile ich Werkzeuge, rette Lebensmittel und kenne endlich meine Nachbar:innen – das fühlt sich sinnvoll an.

Durch kleine Schritte wie Velofahren, Teilen statt Kaufen und saisonal kochen spare ich Geld und CO₂ – und inspiriere meine Kinder.
