Rebuilding succeeds Three years after the landslide, the decline is shining brightly

In August 2023, a landslide occurred near Schwanden in the canton of Glarus, causing significant damage to 40 houses, forcing the evacuation of 112 people, and requiring the demolition of 15 buildings. No one was injured. Three years later, the affected area, known as Quartier Plattenau, has been completely rebuilt. The reconstruction involved collaboration between the local community, the Fachhochschule Ostschweiz (OST), and the municipality. The OST contributed significantly by helping raise funds, including collecting half a million Swiss francs in donations. The project included rebuilding homes, redesigning public spaces, and creating new green areas. The community and local authorities worked together to ensure a swift recovery, which is seen as a model example of successful cooperation.
