At the moment of the publication of Switzerland: An Urban Portrait the journal Das Magazin published a special issue entirely devoted to this project. This journal was a free weekly supplement to the daily newspapers Tages-Anzeiger (Zurich), Berner Zeitung, Solothurner Tagblatt and Basler Zeitung. The special issue contains a detailed review of the book, interviews with the authors, and a range of additional features on various aspects of urbanisation in Switzerland. It contributed greatly to the rapid dissemination of the analyses of the Swiss Portrait and amplified the discussion on urban Switzerland.
