The report on the eighth population survey is available: 2,505 Zurich residents were interviewed by telephone from the beginning of March to the beginning of May 2013 on the most important municipal issues and administrative activities. The results give the city council and the city administration an insight into how the inhabitants assess the living conditions in the city of Zurich and also show how the assessments change over the years. The results are also relevant with regard to the perception and effectiveness of measures.
