Business Location Baselland and its exciting development areas The Basel region is in a comfortable situation: The economy is flourishing; job and population figures are developing positively. In addition to the internal development potential, large area developments are available in the canton of Basel-Landschaft for sustainable urban transformations. An overview of the largest area developments on cantonal territory. Compilation: Loris Vernarelli Salina Raurica Salina Raurica is the name given to the approximately 60-hectare area between Augst in the east and the Prattler industrial area of Schweizerhalle in the west. It borders the Rhine to the north and the highway to the south. Salina Raurica is the largest cantonal development area and offers the best prerequisites for sustainable spatial development: high density and mix of uses, sustainable transport links, ecological upgrading. This is the only way to reduce landscape consumption and traffic growth. In Salina Raurica, new apartments and jobs will be created in an attractive environment. Working, living, traffic, leisure time as well as ecological aspects and natural values can be planned and coordinated from the ground up. This allows to think together, to examine innovative approaches and to create offers that benefit everyone. A good coexistence of new and existing districts is created. The development of Salina Raurica consists of several settlement and traffic planning projects. In the western part, in the direction of Schweizerhalle, the focus is on the settlement of industry and commerce; about a dozen companies have already settled here, and more will follow. In the eastern part, with its proximity to the “Pratteln Salina Raurica” suburban train stop, the emphasis is on housing and a lively mix of living and working. uptownBasel uptownBasel is an international competence center for Industry 4.0.
