Europe-Vision for an Organization with 60 Regions
Written by Regionen-Europas.workEurotopia - the division of Europe into regions
Einleitung
|
The term Eurotopia describes various visions that deal with possible developments in Europe. Here we address the vision of the
Dutch businessman and brewer Freddy Heineken from 1992 to divide the European Union into regions. Within this structure each new country
would have a similar population, most of them five to ten million inhabitants. In today's European society, various forces are already
working on the creation of smaller states. In almost all European countries there is currently an urge for decentralization or even
independence.
The advantages of dividing Europe into regions are obvious. The cooperation of citizens with the
government would be better. Governments could govern more simply and do not need large bureaucracies, while there are already several
federal institutions. Europeans will be able to identify more clearly with a region.
In the new Europe it would not be possible for a single nation to dominate other nations.
The land area of the continent of Europe extends to the Ural Mountains. The 75 Regions according to
description from 1992 cover about 55% of it. In the 75 Regions live about 75% of the population of Europe. With these proportions of
land area and population, we write of a vision of Europe.

With 402,762 inhabitants (as of 31 December 2016)[5], the city of Zurich is the largest city in Switzerland and has a statistical population density of 4,384 inhabitants per square kilometre. The city of Zurich announces the number of residents as of May 2017 according to the concept of economic residence (also includes weekly residents, asylum seekers, refugees with temporary admission) with 419,920 persons.6] With 32.1 percent (31 December 2016)[7], Zurich has an above-average proportion of foreigners (registered population without Swiss citizenship law). The surrounding area is densely populated, with about 1.3 million people living in the conurbation of Zurich[8] and about 1.83 million in the metropolitan region of Zurich[9] The district of Zurich is identical to the urban area.
The city is located in the Swiss midlands, on the Limmat at the outflow of Lake Zurich. The city of Zurich, which emerged from the base Turicum, became a free imperial city in 1262 and a member of the Swiss Confederation in 1351. The city of the reformer Huldrych Zwingli experienced its rise to the present economic metropolis of Switzerland in the industrial age. In 2014, Zurich was awarded the honorary title "European City of Reformation" by the Community of Protestant Churches in Europe.
With its main station, the largest railway station in Switzerland, and the airport, the city of Zurich is a continental traffic junction. Thanks to the large local banks (including UBS and Credit Suisse) and insurance companies (Zurich Insurance Group and Swiss Re), it is an international financial centre and the largest financial centre in Switzerland, followed by Geneva and Lugano. The city is also home to Switzerland's two largest universities, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and the University of Zurich. Despite its comparatively small population, Zurich is therefore considered one of the world's cities. An above-average number of media companies, including Swiss Radio and Television, are based here. With its location on Lake Zurich, its well-preserved medieval old town and a wide range of cultural activities and nightlife, it is also a centre of tourism.
Zurich lies at 408 m above sea level at the lower (northern) end of Lake Zurich in the valley of the Limmat and in the lower valley of the Sihl, embedded between the hills of Uetliberg in the west and Zurichberg in the east. The Limmat rises from the lake, while the Sihl, which flows west of the lake, flows into the Limmat near old town of zurich at Platzspitz. The old town extends on both sides of the Limmat, which initially flows northwards and then gradually turns west in an arc. The former city did not reach as far as the Sihl, but had as a western boundary the Schanzengraben built in the 17th and 18th centuries. At that time, part of the water was drained from the lake and returned to the Limmat in a ditch outside the bastions and bastions.
