A district in transition
See how Basel is coming together – insights into the transformation of an industrial site into a residential neighbourhood.
For now, Neues Klybeck remains a place primarily dedicated to work, research and teaching. The transition to a residential neighbourhood takes time. In some places, however, we can already get a glimpse of what the living spaces of the future will look like.
Living in the new district
A new home is more than just four walls and a roof over your head: Neues Klybeck combines modern living with an established neighbourhood, short distances and plenty of green space right on your doorstep.
A vibrant neighbourhood
A new city district is taking shape here for people at different stages of life – families, working people and older residents. The mix of social housing and luxury apartments fosters a vibrant and diverse community.
Green spaces and parks
People living in Basel North will enjoy more green open spaces, unpaved areas and over 2,000 new trees. Sustainable and contemporary urban development characterises this modern neighbourhood in the heart of the city.
Everything within easy reach
Childcare centres, schools, shops and restaurants: apartments in Neues Klybeck are surrounded by everything you need for everyday life. Plus the city’s wide range of cultural attractions and the lively banks of the Rhine river are just a few minutes away.
Excellent transport links
The urban planning here prioritises pedestrians and cyclists. Tram routes 1, 8, 14 and 17 already serve the neighbourhood, and further routes are planned. The main railway stations can be reached in around 15 minutes, and the airport in around 30 minutes.
Comprehensive sustainability
Basel aims to become the first city in German-speaking Switzerland to achieve carbon neutrality by 2037. The Neues Klybeck development is playing its part in this through sustainable construction methods, the exclusive use of renewable energy, the use of as many environmentally friendly materials as possible, and extensive areas of unsealed land.
Wide range of cultural and leisure activities
Switzerland’s oldest zoo, numerous sports grounds and clubs, over 40 museums, major annual events such as Art Basel, renowned orchestras and theatre companies, and a vibrant youth culture scene: you’ll never get bored in Basel.
