This lecture by the instructor Patrick Rérat focuses on the urbanization dynamics and residential patterns in Switzerland over the past decades. Rérat discusses the trends of urban population growth and decline, the impact of international migration, the role of urban policies, and the evolution of housing preferences. The lecture delves into the factors influencing the demographic shifts in Swiss cities, such as the rise in urban populations since the early 2000s, the effects of economic crises on migration patterns, and the changing household structures. Additionally, Rérat explores the interplay between urban development, mobility patterns, and housing affordability, shedding light on the complexities of urban planning and residential choices in Swiss cities.
